I wonder how many of you out there have suffered this awful bug that's going around - and if so what have you found helpful? I'm now into my 5th week. The one and only symptom seems to be constant coughing fits, with the frightening complication (in my case anyway) of not being able to breath in. I'm not asthmatic but this…
