Oh no! I have bronchitis! Terrified of slipping my band due to coughing!

Hi!

I am freaking out! I have what I think is a case of bronchitis and have been coughing like mad. I can't stop thinking I'm going to slip my band! I've taken cough medicine to no avail. My doctor is not available over the weekend!

Please anyone who has had a bad cough for days... tell me your band didn't slip!

I have a tad case of bronchitis right now. I'm taking antibiotics and also sucking on Haul's lozenges with euchalyptis. It helps. Go to your MD and get on something to treat the cough.

This happened to me over a year ago, and I called my PCP and got some narcotic cough medicine. It worked like a charm (and put me right to sleep, too). Can't you call someone just to phone in a prescription? It's very important that you get the coughing under control.
