can't shift a cold

[944fan]

I'm now in week 3 of a cold that just won't bugger off. Its not been that bad in symptom severity but I'm normally shot of colds in 4 -5 days. Cough is keeping me awake and i have had a tit full of it.

The wife keeps telling me to go to the Dr but I think that is waste of everyone's time for a cold.

Any qualified internet Drs got any ideas?

Your wife is right, go see a doctor; if it's lasted 3 weeks, it might not be a cold.

Are you drunk? Would rather it was bad AIDS.

It started a few weeks ago with a touch of Montezuma's revenge. Apparently a few other parents have had exactly the same. Stomach bug followed by a cough they can;t shift. Seems like a trip to the Drs and some antibitotics are in order. Will have to wait till tomorrow though as Dave hasn't put his 24 hour NHS promise into reality yet.

No temperature.

Used to have ezcema a bit I believe the two are related (along with asthma) so it could be.

Going to attempt a Drs appt tomorrow. Finding Brigadoon is easier

So got the Dr who must have had a day off when the did the bedside manner trainer. Miserable fker. Don't get it why people with no social skills chose a career that requires them. I have no social skills that's why I work in IT development where I don't have to talk to people very often.

Anyway no idea what it is, I have some antibiotics and I have to go for a chest x-ray for some reason or another. Now I have to go a sit in A&E with all the mouth breathing morons in there with pots on their heads.
