 It is viral, work at a clinic as well as home.  Did some some Rhinocort Aqua spray and that helps but was having trouble swallowing due to all the mucous.  Mine is on day #13 and still not back to normal, about 75%.  Only woke up twice last night coughing, that is the worst.   But antibiotics will not help as it is viral.   Besides I hate going on the antibiotics as I want them to work when I really need them so I stay away as much as possible from them.     Hope you are better.  Only good thing I did lose 6 pounds.

 Yeah, it's a viral bug going around.
 Ours turned into bronchitis/sinus infection and is finally going away.  The doctors are only treating symptomatically since it's viral.
