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.

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.

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
