How do you know if a cough is from slippage or regular cough? I over indulged last night at a party, I thought I would be able to control myself, but, did not. I had the acid reflux think afterwards, woke up this morning and know am coughing (wet cough), but, here is the catch I felt cold symptoms earlier in the week and went away. No puking or anything, do feel a little tight in my chest. Happy New Year!!
