Hey everyone! I have bronchitis at the moment; self diagnosed due to repeat episodes. I'm fully aware about how antibiotics work so have avoided them or asking for them for years now. The problem is that paracaetemol and related relief meds shall we say provide me with no relief whatsoever. I was up wide awake until 6am last night and I feel that tonight is going the same way. It's just getting worse and worse despite me 'expelling phlegm', sitting up with pillows, drinking around 2.5L of water and eating healthily. It has been 7 days now and is starting to take a toll on my mental health. At what point do you see a doctor? I primarily want a stronger pain relief but live in fear of using precious NHS resources. No ketones and I'm happy with my bloods for the time being until I'm well.
