Thanks to everyone for their helpful suggestions. I know my problem is pretty small in the scheme of things so I really do appreciate that it was given as much consideration as it was. I really feel better about it all now. I had visions of having to go into the hospital again, something I really do not want to have to do.

@contentandwell, I hope you will have a restful day. Please keep alert for any sudden changes in your condition. A cold is bothersome, but it can open the door to secondary infections etc. Note: "Can" not "Will". That is not a medical opinion, but my opinion from my 9 years keeping this body and organs happy:-) Rosemary

@rosemarya I am pretty sure it has evolved into bronchitis at this point, but with that too there really is nothing that they do except relieve symptoms. If it goes further and becomes pneumonia then I would need to go to the doctor but I am thinking that won't happen -- not for any logical reason, just my resolve! The cough from bronchitis can last much longer than bronchitis because the bronchial tubes take a while to recover.
I am peacefully at home alone while my husband, at my insistence, has gone to his son's home.
