It never made it into my chest.
It stayed in my sinus', so I had a chance to dry it out.

Got it a two-weeks before Christmas. Lots of head congestion, scratchy
throat is the initial symptom. Took antihistimine for three days (days
3-5) at night before bed so I could breath while I slept. That knocked
it down. Completely gone by day eight.

If it gets going good, with lots of slime, you don't want to dry it up with
antihistamines. You need to let it flow, so you can get rid of it, by
coughing it up.
