Maybe he is afraid to admit that he is really sick? Will deal with it when he gets out? Would explain why he has been kind of quiet and the restless sleep.

He asked for cough drops the other day, and I think BB got him some.

I think the sleep problem is because of being the saboteur. He is trying to change that clock when no one is watching. That means staying awake longer thene everyone.

yeah, he has to try to stay awake and the others are hanging out late at night.

At least last night when Jamie again suggested swimming, Josh quickly mentioned his cough.

I think Eddie and Josh are hurting lately but if they get a doctor who says they need to leave, they lose..

This saboteur think is keeping Curtis and Josh awake more.. and lots of us posters too :)

Yes, Josh needs some Robitussin with Guifenisen. Would loosen up his chest.

They gave him Chloraseptic spray. Dumb. He doesn't have a sore throat but a cough and he asked for Hall's Cough drops. I sure wish someone could get him the right thing.

He might just have Post-Nasal Drip. I used to get coughs that would last for weeks and weeks but were never painful or phlegmy. I finally asked my doctor. He checked my throat, found nothing, and said it was most likely P-ND. (I had only heard the term; I had no idea what it involved.) He explained that when the nasal passages are drained of mucus, some of the mucus collects (and dries up) in the throat region. This "dry" collection then causes a strong "tickle" effect and the only thing a person can do for relief is to cough. I'm not saying this is what Josh is dealing with; I'm only saying it's a possibility. P-NP eventually clears up.

OTC = over the counter
nonprescription meds.

Kearie, I was trying to find out if that Duratuss HD Elixir was or not. I get nasty coughs sometimes and I need something good but I can't afford to see a doctor to get it.

Hmmm. I've developed Severe Immunity Disorder Disease and died from it. Usually a coughing fit is the first symptom.

I wonder if that's my secret?

Why doesn't he ask to see a doctor. For three months they've all talked about how cool it would be to be there the last week. Especially if he wins, he is not going to want to deal with being sick. I've had bronchitis and pneumonia in the last 2 years and his cough sounds familiar.

He keeps asking for Hall's cough drops and he never gets it. Just like with the groceries, he gets a substitution.

Maybe he has developed an allergy to the other houseguests.
