I'm so done with this coughing fit I've been going through the past several days. It might be something like bronchitis, but i need to make a drs app to find out how to fix it.

I've just dome coughed til I puked for the first time since this shit started. I may as well call out the next couple days and go to the Drs on Monday, app made or just as a walk in.

Be careful and take care of yourself. Bronchitis can manifest into pneumonia very easily. I hope you get well soon!!

Our local urgent care does walk ins on the weekend's - maybe see if yours does too.

Cold/Flu virus is going around now though...so many people coming up to me and telling me they aren't feeling well...<please stay away from others if you aren't well!>

[MonkeyGirl18]

It's not a cold or flu. It's just a cough that's not going away.

does the coughing seem to come from a dry throat that causes a tickle? Draining sinuses? It might be allergy related - are you taking antihistamine's at all? Have you had asthma symptoms at all? Does it happen where ever you are or only at certain locations? (Outside/work/shopping/home)

[MonkeyGirl18]

Yeah, but i dont have allergies.

It's worse at night and when i go from cold to hot areas and vice versa.


But I think it's starting to go away. Might still make the Dr app.

It does sound bronchial which could be asthma...doesn't your Sister have to take asthma medicine?

[MonkeyGirl18]

No, she took anxiety medicine. Don't think she takes it anymore, idk.

I don't have asthma. But it could be bronchitis. Idk. I never had this happen before. I never had bronchitis before.

My rule of thumb is if you're coughing up green stuff (and not just right after you wake up), get to the doc's ASAP (it's bacterial and antibiotics will clear it up in 24-48 hours) and/or if you're not getting better after a few days or completely over it or almost over it in 10 days. Most things clear up by themselves and there's not much anyone can do for virus', but the stuff they can help you with--well, there are no points for needlessly suffering.

[MonkeyGirl18]

Nah, it's mostly dry with a weird ticklish feeling in my chest. But I can't just call out of work for 10 days or until it's gone. I dont want to go to work like this, but i try to suppress them and use hand sanitizer often. If I do cough, it's when im turned away from the food.

It is getting better but im still making a drs app to help the rest of it.

For me, if I'm sick for a week or if it bothers me way too much, I'll go to the drs.

How about face masks like the Japanese wear out in public? <personally I can't speak too well when I wear them and then my breathing seems limited>

[Watery Star]

I don't know, after putting up with it for 4 days I'd definitely see a Dr, even if it's just a slight cough. Wait too long and you might end up feeling worse and having no choice but to stay home.

[MonkeyGirl18]

But I also don't want to make a drs app if it is already 90% gone.

[MonkeyGirl18]

I'm done.
I need out of this damn house.
The effect on me mentally is becoming too overbearing.

My room is a fucking mess because I don't have the motivation to shit in life. I'm going fucking insane and I need out of here.

Sorry. Just trying to clean my room going through a fucking mental breakdown rn. Or just a fucking panic attack, but I can't take any of this shit anymore. I'm done with having someone stand over me so much. It's like that person is constantly breathing down my neck.

I'm just about ready to just book it and leave this damn place and get my own apartment until I can move into one with a friend of mine. So fucking close.

[MonkeyGirl18]

Sorry, just needed to vent....
