Alright, so I’ve been coughing pretty bad for about 5-6 days now and having trouble breathing for about 2 days or so. I went to the ER about 12 hours ago and they took blood, did a chest x-ray, listened to my lungs/heart and said that I more than likely have Bronchitis.
The Dr gave me an inhaler and prescribed me Cipro 500mg twice a day for 10 days.
I think one thing I’m worried about is it seems as though I go through stages. One moment when I cough I’ll feel stuff move in my chest and it’ll allow me to slightly breath better even though I can still feel stuff. Another time (right now) I’ll have dry coughs with a seemingly clear nose but yet I still have trouble breathing. I took a shower and it seemed for a moment I was moving stuff when I coughed but then when I got back out it was the same thing. It seems as though at the moment I’m just trying to cough and hope I produce something that allows me to breathe better.
Should I be worried? Is it normal to have dry coughs with bronchitis that dont produce things at times? I’m guessing I’m going on 4 hours of dry coughs with not much chest action.
I took Robitussin DM a couple of hours ago, but the bottle said suppressant and exorbitant so I figured it’d be ok.
