Has Anyone Gotten the Flu Without a Fever and Just a VERY Bad Cough?

I am suffering from the exact same thing! I feel like this cough is never going to go away! I really have not been formally tested, but I think that I probably have the flu. I have had my cough for 2 weeks, and I can finally begin to see some real relief. Try Mucinex for the mucus and Delsum for the coughing. This has been somewhat helpful for me and did not make me drowsy, so I can still pretend to have a productive day even with a cough! Good luck and fell better! :)

I had it 6 weeks ago. We didn't get tamiflu which should keep you from getting most of the symptoms. The fever, nausea, and general lethargy lasted 5 days. The cough lasted 5 weeks. Good for you for going in early. :)

Good luck!

We all had it the beginning of July...it started with the cough and about 24 hrs. later we got fever. We were traveling at the time and my son was the only one put on Tamiflu when we got back. I used Mucinex for the cough and tried to drink plenty of fluids. I also was put on antibiotics because the cough in my lungs turned into infection (and my son had strep as well as the flu). I hope you get your cough cleared up! Take care and get some rest!!!

A friend did the same thing last week. Actually she didn't go to the doc until she was "sick sick" but the doc said she was almost over it by then.

If I have to get the flu, that's the way I want it! :)

Hope you feel better soon. God Bless! <><

a few years ago I had a very bad cough. We were getting ready to leave for a trip to Disney so I went to the doctor to pick up a perscription for cough medicine. He swabbed the inside of my nose and said I tested positive for flu and doped me up with all kinds of meds. I never did feel any worse than the cough and was surprised I had the flu. Maybe its just a weaker strain of it?
