Another chest infection?

So I had flu in January, a chest infection in August (which never really cleared) going through suspected asthma checks and now I have what I suspect is another chest inection 😭😭.
Went to the go last week as I couldn't breath and felt a tad dizzy. My oxygen levels were ok and told there's a nasty virus going around. Since then I managed a 39 degree temp and now when I cough I can hear my chest/throat. I'm exhausted and so fed up of trailing back to the docs.

I really hope I can shift this before Christmas really kicks off, feel bad I'm not able to do more with the kids, it's so depressing. I usually love this time of year.

Oh no sorry to hear you are suffering. I hadn't had antibiotics for 11 years until the last month. I've had 2 chest infections. Seems when i get a cold it turns into one and it's never happened before. I really hope you feel better soon and get to enjoy Christmas, for now rest as much as possible Flowers

Same here. Had a shocker of a cold at the beginning of October,which turned into a wracking cough and wheezy chest. This lasted 3 weeks. Was fine for 5 weeks,then unbelievably,I got another cold,a week ago. Again it's gone onto my chest. Bloody sick of it. I can normally go 2 or 3 years without getting a cough,and normally only get one cold every 18 months,or thereabouts. Certainly not 2 in 2 months.
