I've had a bad cold for the last 5 days. It's so bad that my temperature goes up every afternoon and I'm feverish. I've also had a really bad cough which is worse after I go to bed, so I've been taking Delsym cough syrup before bed to help with that. The really weird thing is, even though I'm sick I'm not sleeping much. I know I need to sleep to get well, but I just can't. Do you know if cough syrup can cause mania? Or can being sick itself trigger an episode? I think if I could get enough sleep I would get well, but I just can't too much. I don't know what to do. It's almost bedtime and I know for sure I won't sleep if I'm coughing all night.
