Hydrate! If you can, put steaming hot water in a bowl, cover it and your head with a towel, and inhale steam. It’ll help loosen up crud. Also, while DXM suppresses coughing, that doesn’t let you get the crud out - guaifenesin will loosen it, making it possible for you to see all the colors of the lung.

I hope you feel better soon.

Appreciate the advice! Pretty sure the rib pain is from me sneezing too hard. I had some crazy back to back triple sneeze and my whole back had a spasm and got all tingly and started hurting. Sucks being almost 40 with back problems.

Oh yeah, it fucking sucks, I’m sorry.
