Cough cough cough

Been coughing like a mad person so i had to see the Doctor. Lucky for me i saw her on time. I was warned that my condition might worsen and become Bronchitis. Aw man, the B word. For most of you who don't know what it really means, here is the explanation. Bronchitis is an inflammation of the bronchi -- the main air passages to the lungs. Acute Bronchitis generally follows a viral respiratory infection. The viral infection produces bronchial inflammation, which sets the stage for bronchitis and secondary bacterial infection.

Symptoms

  • cough that produces mucus (sputum), may be blood streaked (i got this without blood)
  • shortness of breath aggravated by exertion or mild activity (i got this from shopping)
  • frequent respiratory infections such as colds
  • wheezing
  • fatigue (i got this from shopping)
  • ankle, feet, and leg swelling that affects both sides
  • reddish face, palms, or mucous membranes
  • reddish cheeks
  • headaches (i got this from shopping too)
  • vision abnormalities

Quote of the day : Old telephone directories make ideal personal address books. Simply cross out the names and address of people you don't know.
