Cough cough cough

Please help!

I’m so sick of this cough. I’ve had it for about 6 weeks now. In that time I’ve had a fair few different cold viruses (I’m a teacher). I’ve not got a temperature just a mild cold and this really productive (disgusting🤢) cough, especially in the mornings but all day really.

I’ve been up most of the night with it and am exhausted and fed up!

I’ve been to the doctors 3 weeks ago, saw a nurse who said my chest was clear but do a sample which I did. It showed an infection so I’ve had Amoxicillin (finished yesterday) which seems to make no difference.

Should I go back? Should I just put up with it? I’m take my various immune system boosting vitamins.

Thanks for getting this far! Oh and I used to smoke but gave up 17 years ago in my late 20s but am a bit paranoid I’ve done lasting damage 😞

I'd return to the GP. Perhaps the infection hasn't gone or you may need an inhaler for a short while.

Thanks, I think I’ll go tomorrow. Bit paranoid about it as I just can’t shake it off!
