I've been to the doctor for this cold, was on strong medicine. I'm still coughing and weissing.?

Question

The doctor two weeks ago said I had fluid on the lungs. Now I'm coughing more. I'm steaming myself, have been drinking oddles of fluids, but I'm thinking I now have pneumonia, because my chest hurts when I lay down. What do you think, Do you think this has turned into pneumonia? Should I go back to the doctor? I'm 70.

Answer 1

i think u dont wait,go to the doctor,and if you feel that u have chest discomfort while laying down,u should undergo some investigations like chest x-ray and blood investigations.

Answer 2

I had the same thing last year...went to the doc about 3 times...if your not coughing anything up it may be that your lungs are still inflamed...the finally had to give me some steriods to calm my lungs down from producing mucus....couldn't hurt though to go back to teh doc and tell them whats going on.
