My lungs hurt

[colditz]

I have been coughing for two weeks and the whole of my URT hurts like hell, and itches.

Should I go to the doc or will this clear up on it's own?

[Kelly1978]

urt?
Not sure about the itching but if it hurts that must it might be an infection so I think maybe you should get it checked out.

I have too and have given in and rang gp today as I think I need anti biotics as I am coughing up loads(sorry) and it is not getting less more if anything Are you sleeping?

[colditz]

I will ring them on Monday if not better./

[colditz]

It is keeping me awake at night, and everyone else.

[colditz]

It doesn't hurt all tthe time, it just feels raw when I breathe in.

[colditz]

It hurts to breath now.

ive had this and its a pain to get rid of and when i saw the gp he said i should have rung the emergency doctors at the weekend and not waited till the monday

[colditz]

Have resorted to paracetamol to mask the pain - am in real misery now, and have almost stopped coughing becauser I'm not breathing properly.

Doctor tomorrow, for sure.

colditz antibiotics have started kicking in for me this evening and I can feel a real difference Hope you get sorted tomorrow xxI truly sympathise I have been at home now for 10 days without going further than the corner shop I feel so rough.

[colditz]

Mean nurse wuldn't give me anything - she says it's viral.

She was nice actually.

[mummytosteven]

damn, was hoping it wouldn't be viral. hope you start to feel better soon, guess it's a case of steaming bathrooms, fluid and rest then.

[noddyholder]

My gp sauid it was viral but that if the yucky stuff in your nose and throat hangs around it can become infected I hate to admit it but antibiotics have made a remarkable difference to mine.HOPE YOU GET WELL SOON XX
