Went to the doctors today for this nasty sore throat and chest pains when I cough, and losing my voice. All my doctor said was it was viral and that it will get worse as the days go on. I already feel like death and my chest hurts like hell along with it and my throat feeling like it's on fire. All I can take is saline spray and tylenol. My throat is so dry and scratchy and it keeps making me cough. I dont know what else I can do to keep it moisturize and to keep the unexpected tickles away which ends up in major coughing fits to where I puke. I swore when I got into a fit earlier and threw up I was gonna pop this kid out from the force of the cough.
