I got some expectorant, as it feels congested in my chest, but nothing loosens or comes up at all when I cough. And since its dry, and the amount I cough, it then irritates from the chest on up, which then makes me cough more. I'd be thrilled if I could just cough properly and clear my chest a tad. Nothing seems to be helping yet though. ANd then all that irritation and coughing ends up giving me a headache and shortness of breath when done as it'll feel like I'm wheezing.
Gonna hit the doctor tomorrow. My wife had similar and passed it to me I guess, and she didn't go to the doctor as it just went away for her in a few days. No such luck for me. I need antibiotics I think.
A while back I had a similar illness, tried to tough it out and got myself into serious shape before going to the doctor. At my age, a mistake I will not ever make again. Jim rush on to the doctor, for some of these lung infections are serious and even deadly. I once was tougher than nails(when young) and would tough out Things that sent most racing to the ER. Now the body can no longer allow such action..
Get to the doc and get thee well soon , we need ya around here my good friend..-Tyr
