Or should I say flu like symptoms

Seems it's going aroun here in NYC/LI

Started with a sore throat Monday, then Fevers started Midday Tuesday. By Wednesdat, the fevers were getting silly (get up in the AM with 99, Fever would spike late afternoon at just over 102.

I've developed a post nasal drip - on one side, despite my nose being totally clear (THAT is the weird part). Nothing is controlling the darned cough (MD gave me a scipt for Promethazine), and I was shoowing SOME syptoms of a secondary bacterial infection, so he gave me a script there (he's not taking any risks with the number of comorbities I have - trust me, KG2V is NOT a healthy guy)

Anyone have any good hints - if I gould just get that PND to stop (I actually think it might be stuck mucus), at least then I can sleep - Going on the 5th day of this, and I feel horrid
(oh, and any cures have to be High BP and diabetic friendly)
