My lungs hurt

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?

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.

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

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.

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

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 · 05/02/2007 11:00

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
