Hi chellshock. Sorry to hear that. There's some real nasties going round at the moment and they seem to be hanging on a bit. Look after yourself, and if the first lot of antibiotics don't do the trick, ask your doctor for some more. I had to have three lots....all different.

Good luck with it and I hope that you're feeling much better soon.

Take care. Pam XXX

Hi Pam, my doctor said they are a few nasties going around. So she added the steroids.

You take care too xxx

Hope you feel better soon I am always given oral steroids whenever I have something with my chest the minute I get bad.

Hope they help clear your chest soon

Hi chellshock, I agree with Pam there's a lot of it about, and it doesn't want to go away.The steroids are to reduce the inflammation, help your breathing and give you a helping hand - it doesn't necessarily mean it's bad.

Feel better soon, Sue x

I keep thinking its going then it gets bad again,, just drink plenty and take it easy and if your symptoms change or gets worse let your doctor know x
