is there a dr in the house?

nikkers04 · 02-28-2008, 10:34 AM

So I think im going to a dr but thought maybe someone else could tell me what is wrong.

I felt fine the day before yesturday didn't feel sick at all I woke up yesturday with a really bad cough...it is deep in my chest and you can hear a bunch of "junk" in there. Other than that I felt fine.

today I wake up the cough is worse...it hurts to breath because if i try to get a normal breath it makes me cough...and i'm avoiding that at all costs...my eyes hurt my ears hurt and i have a sore throat....

is this just another common cold with different symtoms that I normally have?

You're very young, so it can't be 'smokers cough'. Um, it sounds like a chest cold. You should seek medical attention for this, because you probably have fluid in your lungs. You should go see the dr to get on antibiotics.

Hope you feel better

it can be smoker's cough. young or not. do you smoke?

sounds like you might be getting the flu though. i just got through that as a lot of other people around me had it too. it sucked this year.

no Im not a smoker

I dunno where you are, in the world, but where I am, they have these things called MINUTE CLINICS - your ailment sounds a perfect fit for that. You don't have to make an appt., you don't have to wait terribly long and there's just a flat fee for colds, sore throats, rashes, etc.

Check into that.

That way you won't have to actually make a Dr's appt. or have to ask someone who's un-qualified.....

Yeah, it sounds like a chest cold. Does it hurt when you breath in?

Also for wolf boy, even if she did smoke, she's too young to have "smokers cough".

it doesn't hurt when I take shallow breaths...but if i take a normal breath it makes me cough

sounds like you have a lot of mucus/flem caught up in there. try taking some claritin type stuff. it will dry that stuff and help it come out. keep blowing your nose if you have anything in there and drinking fluids.

luckily...no runny nose
