went to see doc on tuesday as have had a cough/cold/flu type thing for about a month but started coughing blood.

he said nasty chest infection and mentioned pluerisy (sp??) and gave me steroids and 2 diffrent anti biotics. I haven't seen much improvement yet apart from no more blood. He made an appointment for me for next week for if i'm better or not. Shoul these tablets have started doing anything yet or am i just being impatient?

sorry your not feeling to well ,I think should give it a bit more time , its only 2 days ago , and i think it generally takes 24 hours for antibiotics to start working so should start to see improvment in next few days i would think .

Iv had a bad cough cold for a good 3 weeks and sore throat , the past 3 days iv been taking high dose Vit C and B6 , maybe just coincenence ,but cold does seem to be getting a bit better, maybe worth looking into ?

hope you feel better soon .

i have been trying to eat lot of fruit and drinking lots of frui juice too - i knew i'd heard somewhere that vit C is good for colds
