The “Water Cooler” is a feature on Claycord.com where we ask you a question or provide a topic, and you talk about it.
The “Water Cooler” will be up Monday-Friday in the noon hour.
QUESTION: Have you, or has someone you know been sick for weeks with a bad cough?
Talk about it.
Nope
Yes. My wife. For 2+ weeks now. And it doesn’t appear to be easing up.
For myself, …. about 1 1/2 weeks, 2 months ago.
Two Friends, … weeks with a bad cough.
Not since I quit smoking.
Nice. 👊
I’ve been coughing for months. My lung feels fine.
…. yes, a health care worker at that
My daughter, since beginning of January, on and off.
Nope. Pure bloods have immune systems that are still highly functional. I feel amazing.
😝😎 That’s my boy…Donk!
Yes. Weeks. Antiobiotics, cough meds, decongestants, cough drops–nothing works.
Yes, I had that cough that lasted and lasted , and that I thought we’d never go away. But surprisingly I didn’t realize it had gone away until I read this article. So I guess it slowly went away after months.
I thought I did, but it went away.
Yes, ever since Covid and the 3 shots I got…what a mistake…
That was your mistake Wizard. Only three shots…you’re not a very good wizard. 💉 💉 💉 💉 💉.
Live smart or die dumb.
I used to have a “morning gag” ( a dry heave). Oddly enough, it went away when I retired. Go figure.
A nagging cough can be caused by anxiety, and stress. After retirement, you are probably experiencing a lot less pressure and stress in your life.
Good to know.
.
DEFINITELY less stress… no phone calls, no deadlines per se, no emails, and no execs to thwart my efforts.
.
… less stress from retiring… lose wight too? from personal experience
.
Yes.
.
10 to 15 pounds less (winter vs summer).
Gerd can cause a cough that lingers for months and months and also pollen allergies (post nasal drip)
After having a long
coughing bout, the throat is still irritated and tickles causing coughing to linger..
Keeping throat moisturized by drinking lots of water helps
I get that cough sometimes when I fill the bowl too full….”Just a little dab will do ya”.
Had a cough going on for 6 weeks straight. Nonstop coughing that kept me up for hours at night. 2 months later, still lingering and at times get fits of coughing. Horrible!
Welp … that’s what happens when you don’t boost up … #oppositeday #sarcasm
“Pureblood” is used twice in the comments here. Please explain use and context of this word.
@concord GUY…You know exactly what’s being said with the “pureblood” comments in whatever context. Or maybe you’re as dense as a lead ingot….just sayin’.
Wife and I have had this cough (both in our late 40’s) since the last week of January. Both of us had a few days of flu like symptoms, (we don’t test for you know what) and neither of us have had our immune system compromised by the mNRA (although most people I know are now suffering heart and clotting issues, low energy, etc) She went to the doc last week, no CV, no fungus, a-typical pneumonia and now is on antibiotics. Definitely something nasty going around.
… yes – an a-typical pneumonia is going around
Considering the “border” situation, could be anything
I’m glad you and me is drinking from the same jug Bob. I’ve had my eye on them skeevy Canadians for a while now. 🔫 🇨🇦
Last time I was sick from anything that wasn’t Irish was a head cold Jan 2017. Not a damn thing since. Though asparagus makes my pee smell funny. 😝
It is the 100 day cough and it is coming to the US

I have a cough right now. Maybe for two weeks. I’ve been coughing up red-tinted phlegm. Probably a chest cold.
As far as a persistent cough, I had a dry cough for two months both times I had covid. It came on a week after I got sick and went away almost two months to the day both times.
