sparkys2boys replied: Wow, have you gone to the doctor? It may be that you need more then over the counter meds? I would go soon and get it looked into, esp with xmas coming up so fast. Hope you feel better soon 
Anthony275 replied: no i havent gone to the doctor but it has gotten worse lately. i dont want to be sick this entire winter again like i have for the past 2 years  but ill ask if i can go to the doctor
sparkys2boys replied: Oh you really should go if its been that long.. KUP ok
Anthony275 replied: ok well my mom refuses to bring me to the doctor, i don't know why, but she just told me to take robitussin again. i swear to god if i dont come on here anymore just consider my reason of death to be from robitussin
Calimama replied: Maybe your body is immune to the Robtussin since you've been taking it so much? Try extra fluids.. mainly water, herbal teas, fruits with a lot of vitamin c, a humidifier, vaporizer and get a lot of rest. Hopefully your mom will take you to the doctor.
mom21kid2dogs replied: Have you ever been allergy tested? Sounds more like allergies than a common cold. Might be worth looking into. My husband is allergic to loads of stuff and is sick all winter every winter. Last year he went back to weekly allergy injections and he's been great. In fact, he's generally sick by now and he's been fine.
Anthony275 replied:
its not fromthe robitussin, i skip a few days on it and i feel worse, i drink water and stuff like that allthe time tho
as for the rest, i sleep like a sloth meaning i nap all the time so i dont know whatsgoing onwith that
i have been tested but i dont have any allergies except for pollen and all that jazz
i just wish i could sneeze...i feel so much better when i do. any suggestions to make me?
luvmykids replied: pull your nose hairs 
Have you tried some extra vitamin C? Echinacea?
Anthony275 replied: no idea but i sneezed before and feel so much better but this cough is a pain...it gets so bad that i have to sneak tylenol inschool
Kentuckychick replied: Ugh... I feel ya!
I first got sick the week of Halloween and it has never really gone away. I felt better for about a week and got really sick again over Thanksgiving break. I went to the doctor last Monday and he diagnosed me with bronchitis and gave me antibiotics and steroids to help.
I'm still coughing, though not as heavily but I had cracked a rib by the time I went in and I'm pretty sure it actually broke this morning 
I was sitting on the floor and went to stand up and felt a pop in my side and a really sharp pain that had me gasping for air. Now it just hurts really bad.
Being sick is really no fun at all. I would make a call to the doctor if I were you. You don't want to play around with something like pneumonia.
moped replied:
Why do you have to sneak it in??
Anthony275 replied: our school wont let you take advil or anything- cant even get it from the nurse
A&A'smommy replied:
This is exactly what I would tell you do to especially the vit. C and extra fluids.. orange juice (make sure its got plently of vit. C and not a lot of sugar in it) helps with congestion. OH and nose spray.. i hate nose spray but I have been SOOO sick and this neo-senefrin (sp??) is AWESOME
Anthony275 replied: i drink orange juice 24/7 so thats not a problem but i cant use nose sprays, my nose starts to bleed from them..
MoonMama replied: Oh gosh sweetie that's not good at all! Try some zinc & Lyzine and deffinitely get to your doctors. Hope you feel better really soon.
PrairieMom replied: what kind of symptoms have you been having?
Anthony275 replied: it's like a bad sinus infection, i coughso much i taste blood, eventually my throat hurts and it won't go away unless i take a nap or something
this sucks
gr33n3y3z replied: tell your mom its time to go to the Dr and if she dont take you then go yourself
I hope you feel better
