Update #1: Fever finally lowering? Think I might be able to sleep without waking up every hour in a puddle of sweat! Update #2: Found an almost-expired bag of cough drops in a cabinet and I literally wept with joy. EVERYTHING'S COMING UP MILHOUSE.

Update: Woke up feeling like shit. Doctor overwhelmed, so ppl who understand these things better than me GROSS CW, what to do if phlegm has lots of brown and red when I woke up, now sports the occasional pink? Even the regular greenish seems very dark olive. Haven't seen before.

Day 5 Update: thought was over hump, woke up to worst coughing yet. Lungs and throat almost sting. Hard to get air. Can't go 15 seconds without coughing fit. Coughed so hard it messed up gag reflex and puked. EVERYTHING IS NOT COMING UP MILHOUSE. As always, talking with doctor.
