Sorry to hear you're not well. Last years flu vaccine didn't work against the viruses that we're going round. My husband who has CoPD hasn't been the same since contacting a flu virus in February. His COPD now is severe. I do not have COPD but was very ill and spent a week in bed, something I haven't done since being a child.

Let's hope this years vaccine is more effective. Have you already had yours?

Take care of yourself, rest and keep warm and drink as much fluid as you can.

Hope you recover soon.

Green mucus can just be snot running from your nose down into your throat. Then you cough and hey presto green sputum that actually came from your nose not your chest.

Oh Daz, do you have to stay with that Doctor? Pete takes maintenance ab's but still has to have different ones if he has a chest infection. I hope you can get someone to listen to you as it would make a nice change.

Take care mate. xxxxx

Hi Daz. Giving antibiotics depends on whether the infection is viral or bacterial. He may mean that there is an infection but not one that can be treated by antibiotics. Does that make sense?
