[QUOTE="sh00ter, post: 3815638, member: 24531"] Well I spoke a little too soon, the start of the "lung phase" does seem to be delayed a week or so into the disease. I developed the standard "post viral cough syndrome" which many people get after a viral illness such corona or flu. However, it was slowly improving each day (less phlem & cough in the morning) for a coupe days after I was past the initial phase of the virus, and then one day I had trouble sleeping and didn't get to sleep until 4am and when I woke up, I had gone backwards based on increased symptoms (not sure if this would have happened anyway or a direct result of no sleep). I hit it with extra strength mucinex and a z-pack and after 5 days the secondary upper respiratory infection that developed was over...now 3 weeks into the virus and 99% better with a tad of morning cough and non-infected crud to clear for a couple hours. I can see whey people get in trouble with this virus...A bet a lot of them get a a secondary infection that turns into severe bronchitis or pneumonia that is caused by bacteria (common with flu too). I used to wonder why some of the "non-conventional" voices in the whole debate were recommending antibiotics for a virus, but in addition to treating to prevent secondary infection, I've now learned that they might help through other pathways directly against the virus and the inflammation it also causes. I never took steroids, but had them ready if it got bad enough (maybe most helpful for deeper chest infections?). I think these alternative voices that were recommending things including the z-pack and steroids, if given at the right time, were correct a lot of people could have been saved. Just wanted to share MY experience in case it helps anyone; don't take any of this as medical advice, just my own experience. But I will be ready if there is ever a next time. [/QUOTE]
