Annoying Cough

I've been down with sorethroat since I came back to work on last Monday and now, after a week, I just gone through fever, lost of voice, flu and now, this irritating cough which is making me :-

• staring at the ceiling at night,
• chewing on my pillows from frustration,
• washing my pillow cases after chewing,
• tossing and turning in bed,
• opening and closing the book I didn't feel like reading over & over again,
• drinking honey like a bee,
• running to toilet every 5 mins like a pregnant lady,
• deprived of my beauty sleep.

The sound of me coughing continuously is beginning to blend with the background and the room seems to be eeriely quiet when I stopped.

Cough lozenges didn't seem to help much, chinese 'xian dan' made from snake liver, recommended by chinese pharmacist uncle didn't work any wonder.

I may just finally resign to seeing a doc for a permanent cure.
