Hi I posted last week worrying about a rattling cough. I had bad flu over the new year which resulted in in chest infection which cleared up with antibiotics. I am now working with children again after bringing up my own and seem to be getting every cold etc. Anyway last week I got a terrible cold and cough and eventually went back to the doctors who said, i had a chest infection but she wanted me to fight it as my immune system was a bit low after flu. She said come back next week if it is worse...... here is my worries....
I am flying on holiday in two days for a few days with my lovely family, we didn't get a break last year so it will be lovely, but all I am worried about is my cold/cough. It hasn't got anyworse but is a bit more chesty and I have a cold too, I don't have a temperature and dont feel REALLY ill, just a chesty cold. I have tried to get a doctors appointment but they are full today.... I am ruining my familiys excitment of a short holiday as I am worried about flying..... is it pleuracy, bad chest infection, will I get pain from flying with a cold, will my lungs burst on the plane if they have fluid in, will my ear drums burst..... I really need a break, but is it ok to fly with a cold?????? Why can't I just relax, enjoy the break and hope the warm weather will clear the cold up??? I hate this health anxiety :(
