had the flu for a week. finally feel over it mostly, except this nagging cough. every 2 minutes i'm hacking up a lung. and it's not phlegm-y. there's no purpose for it. i'm not coughing up anything. my body just does it. causes splitting headache all day and i pretty much only sleep from about 11pm to 3-4am, when i wake up, have another cough attack and can't go back to sleep.

i'm literally ready to just chop off my head with a steak knife.

i've tried nyquil/dayquil, mucinex, teas with honey and lemon, hot showers, cough drops...pretty much everything. nothing helps at all.
