Coughing a lot
For the past week I've been coughing my brains out, literally. I don't know what to do because last week I went to the doctor and I ended up having strep and bronchitis (I spelled that wrong). I swim year round and had 3 meets, so I swam in them saturday, sunday and monday, but did horribly because I basically couldn't breathe. I stopped everything after monday because i wasn't getting better at all. Since I haven't gotten any better, I went back to the doctor yesteday and had to get a chest x-ray. I don't have pneumonia so they gave me cough medicine. How can I get better faster so I can get back in the pool?

the person below me needs to check that orange juice part.
with strep & bronchitis, you obviously have a sore throat.
in orange juice, there is some type of acid thing (i think it's called citrus acid; i forgot.) that burns your throat & irritates it.
so, for now .. i'd just stick with water.
drink lots of water, rest alot, take all the medicine they gave you, dress warm if it's cold where you live, & stay away from other people who you know are sick.
hope you feel better! =]
