Possibly environmental allergies, from the aerial spraying, doctors dont speak about it but plenty about chem trails online .Take a look at 'What on earth are they Spraying' its a video on utube ...do some research , good luck, ask for a heavy metal toxicity test

Sounds more like a cold to me. Definitely consult your doctor.

It sounds like a virus of some sort.  There are many going around.  Cold, flu, whooping cough.  Usually the flu will have a more significant fever and lots of body ache with fatigue.  

Take chicken soup or chicken broth, hot tea with honey, and ibuprofen.  Personally I got through the 4 months of whooping cough without seeing a doc.  Those who did see the doc and get 3 courses of antibiotics had the cough just as long.  Their docs were calling what they had sinus infections, but I think what we all had was whooping cough because at a certain stage, we all coughed until we couldn't breathe.  Sounds like whooping cough to me.
