Gross warning
feels like I'm coughing up pure rubber at this point. Its so thick its getting caught in my throat and triggering my gag reflex so I almost vomit. and cause its barely moving im just coughing and coughing and coughing. Its not TOOO bad whilst the suns up, but at night I can hardly sleep.Chest infection? That’s the worst. It’ll do you good to get it out.
Definitely get a chesty cough syrup, heaps of fluid, try a humidifier or carefully breathing steam, and either get someone to pound you on the back or hang off the edge of the bed coughing. Keep eating heaps even if you don’t feel like it. Protein and carbs.
Sleeping propped up or in a prone position might help with breathing. You might also need to go back to the doctor
yep seems like it. Trying to get it all out but it only wants to cough up at night. Bloody annoying. I've drank so much its not even funny.
That sounds so awful! I really hope you get well soon.
