Help with a cough

4 Replies

I have had a bad cough now for three weeks. After the first week I went to my GP who gave me a course of antibiotics. It seemed to clear and I finished the course last Wednesday over the weekend it started to come back again and last night I could not sleep as all I did was cough, anyone else had this. I am in the process of moving and am living with my brother until I can move to my new home. Any suggestions from anyone on what to do next

Personally I think it would probably be best if you see/speak to your GP again. Sometimes either more or a different antibiotic may be needed.

Hope you feel better soon
