I have been like that since January and I am NOT on that medication, I went to the doctors 3 times and he said it was a 'virus' then I got realy bad two weeks ago and went to the chemist for yet more medicine for the cough etc. The chemist sent me straight to the doctors as they said it should not not last that long. Saw a different doctor and she examined thoroughly ans she said it was no wonder I was coughing so much I had a bad chest infection and put me on antibiotics, still have the runny nose, sore throat though, just hope these pills clear it up. Hope you soon feel better.xx
