I've been dealing with this green cough and cold for the past week, and now I'm starting to feel breathless. Last night, I took a MontekLC tablet based on what worked for me before, but I'm still feeling really weak and it feels like I've got a heavy cold in my head. What do you think I should do? Is there anything else I can try to feel better?
