The doctor came out to see me today because i've had what i thought was a cold and chest pains especially when i cough. She says i have bronchitus but i don't have to take medication, just parocetomol, drink lots and rest.
I thought once i knew what it was i'd calm down, and i did for a while, but now my panic has risen again.
I need to cough all the time and it's horrible, now i'm panicking about this "needing to cough feeling" in my throat all the time.
I don't know what to do to ease it, i just feel so terrible. I asked my other half to bring me some cough drops but he won't because he says they are for tickley coughs and not chest coughs but i'm desperate.
I'm in a constant state of panic.
How long is this meant to go on for? I can cope with the runny noses, the sneezing, the phlegm, even the chest pains but the cough is awful.
reassurence anyone?
thank you
