Lately everyone in my house has been sick, we have 2 kids and another on the way. 1 of them goes to school and came home the week before this past thursday with a bad cough. His cough went away after about 5 - 6 days. Then everyone in the house seemed to get it.
I started mine with a wierd type of migraine, severe congestion to the point it wouldn't stop every 2 mins blowing nose. The headache and the chills seemed to go away yesterday and i started to feel somewhat better. Then later that night the cough came back and the symptoms changed a bit and seem alot worse.
Right now i cough up mucus usually white, sometimes yellow mixed with it. My chest has a tightness to it and it feels sometimes a bit uncomfortable in my chest. I am wheezing, i am a smoker but i have been trying to cut back since i got sick. My chest however hurts really bad when i cough, but i think this is due to coughing as much as i have.
Everyone else in the house is feeling better and still has a slight cough but i seem to be keeping sick. Any suggestions or anyone have a idea what this can possibly be? Or when i should exactly goto the hospital as i see if it is bronchitis they pretty much tell u to go home and deal with it and don't do really anything about it.
