    I have had a bad cold for a couple of weeks coughing off and on like crazy. I was starting to feel better then this morning I woke up and felt awful. I could not stop coughing and my chest was starting to feel tight and sore. I went to the doctor and I was told I have bronchitis. I am on antibiotics so hopefully it will get better soon. I don't know if something is going around but my mom and it and a couple of people she works with, had it. So I just wanted to put it out there if any of you have had a cold with a bad cough get it checked just in case.
     
  2. It's going around a lot at my school. One of my good friends has it currently and its horrible, every time she lays down to sleep her lungs fill with fluid and she just keeps coughing.

    I've had bronchitis several times - my lungs are not very strong.
    My advice to you is to get a humidifyer. They are great for this because they create a lot of steam and sleeping in a muggy room really helps you cough, and as disgusting as it sounds, you need to get all the gunk out of your chest.
    Also - rest up as much as you can.

    I hope you get well soon.

    Thanks! Right now I am so frustrated. I am new at my job and I need to be on the phone to call potential clients but every time I talk I cough like crazy. Also tomorrow night I am suppose to go out to dinner with a guy I met online and talked to several times. He is so nice.

    It could be worse. If you were a woman and have had several kids, you might also pee your pants. :grin:
