Re: Post viral cough ...
What I read is that when a virus strikes, the respiratory system turns on a virus response, which is a cough, to keep everything clean and cleared out. When the virus/cold is over 1) the bronchials are inflamed from all of the coughing so that contributes to a continued cough and 2) the respiratory virus response gets stuck on "on". I'm weak too but I suspect not as badly as Rima is because of the lupus. The weather today is nasty and not helping any. The temps dropped and it's raining. There's supposed to be a wintry mix overnight. Cathy and Shiloh
