chest - is this right?

[youarekidding]

2 days before Christmas I had a sore throat which developed into a cold. The usual run down-ness of the time of year I suspect.

Had a really bad earache for about 2 days.

For 10 days now I've had a cough. Not productive really, odd phlemy cough but mainly 'barking'. Is set of by laughing and any physical exertion. Chest feels slightly tight and as if I can't get a full breath in.

I don't feel unwell tbh.

Anyone else had this? Any advice?

Just wanna be able to breathe again

Coughs are a bugger. I've had one for weeks and GP tells me viral coughs can easily last 6 weeks, antibiotics aren't effective on them and nothing but time will get rid of it

Go to GP and get your chest listened to,as it sounds as though you may have a chest infection.could be just the muscles are a bit tender from a lot of coughing but it is something that ought to be checked.
