moonsong Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 Saturday, I had a 104 temp, deep cough, no appetite, fatigue. I went to urgent care where I was diagnosed with bronchitis and some pneumonia. Today my temp is normal, my energy is better, My appetite is fine. Tonight I'm coughing non stop again and my chest feels bubbly like there's fluid in there. I'm hoping it's a sign I'm getting better. I am hoping it means that this stuffs moving out of my lungs. however, I'm a little worried. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ktgrok Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 If you are worried I'd go to urgent care or ER. People can die from pneumonia. You need someone to listen to your lungs. You may need a nebulizer as well. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sbgrace Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 (edited) Your temp is still normal? In my experience, that would be reassuring in terms of pneumonia. However, coughing non-stop and gurgling sounds concerning. Do you have asthma? For me asthma is coughing fits. It's hard to get my breath. I only have asthma when my lungs are a mess from illness. But asthma can be an emergency. If you're struggling, you need to be seen. Edited March 30, 2016 by sbgrace Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daria Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 For my kid, who is just one kid but had multiple pneumonias and pneumonitises as a kid, his lungs always sounded way worse once the tightness began to loosen and things began to move. When things were at the worst his airways were so inflamed and tiny that nothing in there was moving so you couldn't hear wheezing or coughing at all.

SJ. Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 (edited) Were you prescribed nebulizer treatments? That helped tremendously for coughing when I had pneumonia. I hope you feel better soon! Edited March 30, 2016 by SJ. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gardenmom5 Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 Were you prescribed nebulizer treatments? That helped tremendously for coughing when I had pneumonia. I hope you feel better soon! for me - the nebulizer made me worse. it's what finally prompted the x-ray. that was in the ER, and at that point I was admitted. the coughing lasted for months, even after the pneumonia itself was gone. though I did gradually improve.

JFSinIL Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 Can you go to Urgent Care or your local doc. and at least have someone listen to your lungs? A follow-up to make sure you are improving can't hurt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
