Thanks all.
Seems to almost unanimous not to do anything, and a few horror stories to back that up!
Did an hour or so of slow walking today and that’s been it, not done anything else.
Went to the doc on Friday afternoon, said I do indeed have an infection. Tried me on one of those peak-flow measuring things that asthmatics use to blow into. Former girlfriend was asthmatic, she would be aiming for 400 (400 what I don’t know, but 400 whatevers) I would usually be off the scale, 700+, when I tied it on hers, on Friday I did 450 and then had a massive coughing fit.
Been given antibiotics (long word beginning with C which I can’t remember) and a non-steroid inhaler to use ‘if I feel the need’ Not touched it yet but need to get a TUE sorted just in case. She said it was ‘unlikely’ that I would be fit again for the Euros on 21st 🙁 but that I should be OK for Relentless at the end of October.

Supplementary question, anyone’s chest problems ever caused the to vomit? Coughed so hard I did a little one on Friday evening. Or a reaction to the meds maybe?

Supplementary question 2: Last week I noticed that I was coughing loads, and hard, at work but much less frequently and much less intensly when outside (not excercising, just working on the camper-van conversion) In the house is somewhere between the two but more at the notcoughing-as-much end of things. It’s an office job, physically very easy, open plan office with half a dozen of us in it. I have a window seat but colleagues moan they get cold if I open it. Anyone else found fresh-air really helps? Or just a nocebo of being somewhere I’d rather not be making it worse?
