Ive had somekind of terrible bug since Tuesday, but it seems like it has different symptoms everyday. Tuesday I couldnt breath from a swollen throat and stuffy noses and was throwing up constantly. Wednesday I was feeling better. Still had a stuffy nose and swollen throat, but developed a cough. I went to hospital they said it was viral and they couldnt do anything. Today Im feeling terrible again. My chest is extremely tight and Im coughing so hard that Im throwing up and getting light-headed to point the Im dizzy and my vision is blurred. Whats going on with this cough?! Pneumonia?
Thank you for asking at Chat Doctor. I have read your question and I understand your concern. Viral infections are mild and usually does not need vigorous treatment, and symptoms resolve within 5 to 7 days by itself, during this course 2 tablets of paracetamol every six hourly will help. But sometimes there is superimposed bacterial infection which needs proper antibiotic treatment, so if your symptoms are worsening there is no harm I am revisit to a physician or hospital. Thanks Chat Doctor.
