I have a terrible cough, my chest hurts from coughing. I felt some mild cold symptoms a couple days ago, but the cough and a headach started yesterday. I start coughing when I talk and I get out of breath walking to any distance. Taking that into account, I help out with a group of kids at our church, tonight I am an extra person with our 4th grade girls. Do you think I am contageous and shouldn t go, or if I don t breath on them I should be ok? I don t want to let them down, but don t want to make anyone sick. thanks
Thanks for asking your query completely understand your problem first of all u should consult a chest physician or a pulmonologist who can evaluate and treat your condition. Secondly yes most of the respiratory tract infections are contagious and can be transmitted to others. As per your situation u feel breathless just by walking a short distance so u better first go to a doctor and take some medications. If you feel relieved you can go easily and there will be no danger to the kids also. Thanks god bless u with good health can ask more questions
