Well kids, for three weeks straight I've had a horrific cough. Throat feels dry and airway feels like it's the size of a pinhole. Any time I talk above library volume, laugh, yawn, lie down, it becomes a nasty coughing fit. It honestly feels like I've inhaled smoke. It's interfering with my sleep and it's interfering with everything else, too.
Within 24 hours of getting it, I went to see one of those after-hours GPs as I wanted to get this shit sorted ASAP. Here's the following diagnoses and treatment (none of which are working).
Doc #1 (random after hours GP): viral infection, take antibiotics (didn't work)
Doc #2 (family GP): throat burn due to reflux, take Nexium (which has completely sopped the reflux) and Symbicort (didn't work)
Chiro: it's a type of hayfever. Mucus thingies in your lungs are inflamed. Doesn't mean it creates mucus, but that's what's making you cough.
Obstetrician: sore throat is due to muscle tension in your neck. Here's some acupuncture and a neck adjustment. (Didn't work)
So yeah, it's been three weeks and no relief in sight. I figured the PSB brainstrust would probably have the same amount of knowledge as the above medical professionals.
Here's a selfie just taken of some random crap hanging off mah uvula.
So please let me know what you think, cos I'm going batshit crazy.
(If anyone mentions anything inappropriate I will kick your arse.)
