I came down with a nasty chest infection while on holiday in Devon (nice timing!) woke up with sweats and chills with a temp of 37.5.
As i have asthma and was feeling pretty rotten, my mum who joined us for the holiday, took me to the out of hours doc. She said that I have a really nasty infection so gave me antibiotics, steroids and increased doses of my inhalers.
Finished the meds, and feeling no better, so went back today at my own doc, who doubled the antibiotic strength, and need to take them for a further 7 days
The sweats etc have disappeared, but I am still really struggling with the coughing and breathing. I sound like darth vader!!!!
Night times are a pig, and the noises coming from my chest are odd to say the least! It seems to rumble for a while after every exhale, and is always worse in the evenings.
Is there anything I can do to get some decent sleep and a little relief? It's getting a little boring now!
