I had that fluey thing 3 and half weeks ago and after the couple of days of shivering and shaking I began to cough. After a week of it not getting better and having a very noisy 'bubbly' chest I went to the doctor who declared it was laryngitis and gave me antibiotics. I finished them last Friday but my cough is no better, if anything it's worse. It's still on my upper chest and feels as if I have loads of gunge stuck. I feel breathless and get wheezy if I walk up the stairs or do anything. My chest is still noisy - it kind of squeals and squeaks.
I am getting quite depressed with all of this as I am coughing all day and I'm having to sleep sitting upright in a rocking chair so not really sleeping.
I really don't want to go back to the doctors as I know he will give me more anti-biotics and I'm not convinced it will help but I need to do something and just feel so depressed with it all. I'm really struggling to look after my 2 dd's (19 months and 3.2) and just want to feel better.
I am drinking echinacea tea and taking Sambucol Elderberry liquid.
