Hi,
Trying to work out if worth going to walk in centre or out of hours. I keep getting 'attacks' of coughing so bad I struggle to breathe. My voice box and throat feel strangled and enflamed. Then I'm ok for a while and infact my lungs seem ok. Talking can set it off.
Manage to sleep bolt upright (fun when bf and cosleeping with toddler, who is completely well for once) obviously worried he'll get it but I suspect I've caught it from him as he had a.nasty green snot cold a week ago.
Earlier in week I had aches and temperatures. No true sore throat, as in tonsils fine.
It's just that when the attack occurs it's quite scary.
Treating with ibu and paracetamol and hot ribena. I tried some piriton in the night.
