Day 9. When's it going to be over?

30/Male

Making this post to vent, and get other people's experiences so I can get a little bit of hope.

Last week, my whole house had the flu. By day 6, most of the symptoms got better except for a hacking cough and clogged chest. On day 7, I woke up with my lymph nodes under my jaw swollen and tender to the touch. I look like a bullfrog. They got bigger on day 8 (yesterday), and that's the day I went to the urgent care where they prescribed me 10mg prednisone, a z-pack, and an albuterol inhaler, and was told I had some mild bronchitis. I'm really hoping this will turn the corner now after taking these medications.

Does anybody have experience with this? If so, let me know. Thanks!
