I've been sick for almost 5 days. I've had a really hard cough, sore throat, runny nose and shortness of breath. I went to see my doctor 2 days ago and he said "it's a virus". So i bought this over the counter decongestant that he suggested called ENTEX LA, which has worked for me in the past, as i have asthma and i can't take cough syrup or my throat will close up. Well it's been another two days and i feel like it's getting worse. My doc told me to use my puffers if i was feeling like i couldn't breathe and it gives some temporary relief, but it doesn't last for long. I've been up all night, it's now almost 8am and i've used my ventelin puffer three times since 1am and my steroid puffer once. I still feel short of breath and my ribs are aching from all the coughing, but i don't want to wait 5 and a half hrs at the hospital so some nurse can stick a ventelin mask on my face and i have to call in the doctor to turn it off, because no one will come to check on me. I hate hospitals!
