I have a dry cough that makes me short of breath. I don't have a fever though. Its started with a runny nose, headaches and sneezing but is mainly coughing now. I have asthma so I get asthmatic bronchitis every once in awhile... usually once every other year. Also there have been two times I have been diagnosed with early pneumonia. I don't really feel that bad but should I got to the doctor or just wait... my reservation is I don't have any other symptoms other than coughing with shortness of breath. I used my asthma inhaler but it doesn't seem to be helping. I am not like gasping or anything like if I would have an asthma attack.

Why is it nothing in the drug store has "cure" written on it? Has anyone noticed this? Every product has "relief" written on it, and they barely work! Why is it that you can eat 100 oranges to help cure a cold and not die or you can take 100 cold and sinus drugs (which are SUPPOSE to help you) and you would die? Do you see what I'm saying?

This synthetic medicine can kill you if you take to much, but nothing organic will ever kill you if you take a lot of it.

For instance, when I was 15, I had a tumour in my left testicle which wasn't cancer. But the only way to see if it WAS cancer, was to cut my testicle out. The tumour was gone after that, but so was my testicle! Thousands of years of studying medicine, and this is what we've come to?

It seems that the people who make medicine are not concerned with curing illness of any kind. If they do that, theyll lose money, since their "relief" drugs arent useful anymore. Does anyone feel this way? Please share.

When your drinking and you start to choke and someone say "its gone down the wrong way" where did it go and what caused you to choke? Just curious :)
