Portland or is there a sinus cold flu going around this area. i have been sick for days with the worst hacking dry cough runny nose terrible sinus?

Maybe it's time: to see your doctor, viral upper respiratory infections can cause such symptoms, but you may need prescription medications to control them, especially the dry cough, which may be due to airway inflammation, and may need some form of inhaler, bronchodilator, to help open up the airways till the inflammation is gone, or a medicine to help reduce nasal drainage. See your doctor for evaluation,goodluck
