Same thing happened to me in college when I was 21. Two days nearly completely bedridden and coughing so hard I thought I was bursting blood vessels. I did manage to make it down the block to the college clinic, where they verified that I was their first influenza case of the season, prescribed me some cough syrup, and told me to take way more ibuprofen than it says on the bottle. I was disappointed at the prescription, but after my first dose I was as happy and energetic as if ever been. Turns out the “cough syrup” was hydrocodone in corn syrup. Powerful stuff.
