It sounds like you might have bronchitis which is inflammation of the airways. It is usually self limiting and does not require treatment. Cough is the predominate symptom, and can last for many weeks. I would recommend: -getting some good rest -increasing fluids -Tylenol and ibuprofen if you re having pain or fevers -update vaccinations -avoid smoking or second hand smoke -antibiotics are generally not recommend -cough suppressant such as tessalon pearl or similar -decongestant such as Benadryl Diverticulitis or diverticulum/diverticula are outpouchings of colonic mucosa and submucosa through weakened muscle layers in the colonic wall. I would recommend: -High-fiber diet or nonabsorbable fiber (psyllium) ( 30 g/day of fiber) - foods such as bran, fruits and vegetables, and whole grains -Miralax daily -increase fluid intake -avoid medications that can worse constipation -enemas or suppository -regular exercise -probiotics Occasional mild constipation is normal. The best time to move bowels is in the morning, after eating breakfast, when the normal bowel transit and defecation reflexes are functioning.
