I have had this god awful chesty cough/cold for around a fortnight now ... my dd was so kind in giving it to me. She was treated for a chest infection, and bar a heavy cold, she seems to be alot better.
Now my question is .. at what point should I see a doctor?
I am coughing practically constantly, but fortunately it doesnt keep me awake once I finally get to sleep :p
I do have mild asthma so taking my inhalers for that.
I do cough up yellow(ish) mostly white phelgm (sp). I feel ok if a little tired and achey from all the coughing.
Should I tough it out or take myself to see the doc?
Also any tips on how to get a 4 & half yr old well again? For the past month she has had 2 bouts of sickness (24hrs), followed by a cold, then chest infection and now she has another cold and is really feeling it i think this time round. Her stomach is slightly upset and she does say her tummy and her throat hurts, although i am not sure if she is playing on it. The poor love is in a real vile mood, and there seems to be nothing that i can do to help her
