Based purely on internet self diagnoses (yes, flame me) but what started as a mild cold 3 weeks ago, then became a scratchy irritable cough, has now become typically 8-10 bouts of coughing fits that make me gasp to draw breath back in and feel like I’m choking on my own phlegm/saliva (nice!), retch and one one occasion, chunder.
I saw the doc when the irritable one wouldn’t go away and he gave me ventolin and Clenil as he said it was probably asthma related (I have a mild history)
Do i need to go back – if it is W-C I think once the symptoms appear I’m not infectious any more anyway, so antibiotics to prevent infection of others are pointless? Otherwise, i just sit tight and wait for it to go away again in a few weeks….
