Guest guest Posted December 11, 2008 Report Share Posted December 11, 2008 Hi Mike: Stay warm and get to the ER for treatment ASAP. Did you measure your peak flow every hour? If too low and not responding to the course of treatment you took, you have to get to the hospital for more. I had this experience myself, from the pollen in the Pine Barrens on Long Island. I went to the ER was treated 3x with their nebulizer protocol, and got my peak flow boosted enough the cough was gone and I stayed indoors for 2 days after this until the pollen subsided. I hope you can determine what has triggered your attack, so you can decrease your exposure and symptoms after the ER. Good Luck! > > I woke up earlier than usual today coughing.
