Phlegm Phlegm Go Away...

Ughhh... I am well into my third week of coughing and hacking from the phlegm in my lungs. My doctor had prescribed a 5 day dose of a strong antibiotic and Nasonex. I also started taking MucenixD to help me out. I am still not better. When I cough, the phlegm does not come out! I drink plenty of fluids... but it is still there in my throat. I have had the same shortness of breath for the last three weeks. Over the last two nights, I have gotten next to no sleep as the constant coughing has kept me and my dogs up at night. Thank God my roommates haven't been home... they would have lost some sleep too.

So... I am going back to the same Doctor today. I am hoping something helps to get rid of this phlegm. It is NOT pleasant to walk around coughing and trying to hack up phlegm everyday. I don't want this is turn into bronchitis or walking pneumonia. It is so typical of me to avoid Doctors like the plague and think "I'll get better!" Uggghhh... I don't like being sick. It sucks.
