Last night I stayed up until 11:30 in my bed watching TV. Ok, no problem. But I started to cough like hell. My throat hurt during the day and during the weekend but didn\'t pay attention to it at all. But during the night, I kept coughing every minute. My throat hurt like hell, my nose ran and the only way to breathe was through my mouth which caused me to cough hard and loud. About 1:45, 2 AM, I got out of bed and tried to warm up some nice warm milk. Maybe 2:30 minutes was too much. I burned my god damn tongue which now is a bitch. It hurts. I went back into my room. I was starting to fall asleep due to the milk. I then let out a huge cough which kept me up until like 2:30. I thought I might be coughing a lot because I was lying down. I went down to the living room and "slept" on the recliner. I was doing alright, reclined and sitting upright. I started coughing hard again. I said "**** this" and went back in my room. Finally at 4 AM, I fell asleep. I woke up at 6:30 and started my day.
I was talking to a buddy of mine that just got over strep thoat. I told him my symptoms and he said the exact things happened to him when he had strep, cough, sore throat, sinus problem and restlessness. I trust him because he gets strep alot. Funny though, coming home on the bus, my left ear feels really weird. Its like theres lack of pressure in it. Feels like it popped but I can still hear. Anyway, I\'m going to the doctor in an hour which is good. Get all this checked out.
