Hello everyone, I am really feeling sorry for myself. I got this cold 3 weeks ago, and everything seemed to clear up, but now I have been left with this AWFUL cough. Sorry if this is tmi, but I was hoping someone could give me some advice. It seems to be worse on a night and first thing in a morning, where I just cannot stop coughing. I am coughing strings of thick mucus up (sometimes these strings can be long). I have to cough over the toilet as the only time there is any relief is after I have vomited from if 2 or 3 times. After being sick, I am OK for 2 to 3 hours, in fact, feel fine, except from being tired, then the tickle hits again and I'm rushing for the toilet or sink again. I'm 18 years old, a little underweight and 4 months pregnant, so just hoping the baby will be OK, although my nurse say she is fine. Already today, I have had 3 of these attacks and seemed to have vomited endless mucus. Have to eat little and often, and tend to keep lunch down, but that's all. Any advice would be SOOOO much appreciated as I can't stand being this sick. Add that to morning sickness, and it sucks ! I am also on my own, so no one to give me any sympathy :( Sian x
