Fekkin' cough again

Ive got that horrid cough i had at xmas again. I hoped it would go away on its own...but it hasnt.
Ive had to take the day off to go to the docs. Im seeing a nurse in a bit. ( im never important enough to get a docs appointment)

Ruby!!!! Oh, Ruby, I hate that! Here's what you do. I don't know if you tried this before, but rub some Vicks Vapor Rub on the bottom of your feet and then put your socks on and go to bed and you won't cough all night. It will take that cough, right away. It works.

@LadyGrace i remember you telling ne this before Grace. It didnt stop my coughing totallly, but it helped a bit.

I hope you get to feeling better. 🙏🏻

I hate coughs more than any other symptom.
All I get is a nurse too when I get sick anymore. They call it a nurse practitioner here. They do the same thing as a doctor and get prescriptions.

Anyway, get well soon! 🤗😊🍵🙏🏻

@Elisbch thank you. Yes, she was a nurse practitioner. To be fair, they know their stuff. But, i knew what i needed anyway.....as its the set fix when im like this..lol. so i told her what i needed and she agreed. X

Might be a good idea to sign up with a different clinic of a sort if the doctors there don't bother seeing patients on normal appointments.

@RubySoo "stay home, protect the nhs". "Clap for.the nhs"......."oh, you want a drs appointment......sorry, cant help you there"

GPs have zero reason to still be refusing to see ppl. Did they give you a reason? Hope you feel better soon

@gol979 its been an 'on the day' appointment systemn for years. Its crap. Its impossible to make an appointment in advance with yr own doctor. Wgen you ring now, you get a call back and they make you an appointment with a practitioner nurse.
I cant recall the last time i actually saw a doctor for myself, but its longer than 5 years ago.

@RubySoo thats a joke. And then you have to deal with the faceless, delightful receptionists. Heres hoping the roids work 👍

Is it a dry cough?
RubySoo · 56-60, F
@cherokeepatti not really....my chest is rattling but i cant cough anything up.
cherokeepatti · 61-69, F
@RubySoo maybe inflammation if you don’t have a productive cough.
RubySoo · 56-60, F
@cherokeepatti im asthmatic and i have very narrow airways. My inhalers arent effective when im like this, so i need a course of steroids.

Aww sorry Ruby. I hate those damn coughs..is it Covid? Remember besides the meds they give, lots of liquids and rest 🌸🦋
