Basically ive had this awful cold for over a month now and its just getting worse. Whenever i cough it is painful for my throat, head and chest. It is not a normal cough as its extra loud and sounds like the dog from grown ups (seriously). I have phlegm in my throat and ive only coughed it up a few times but I can still feel it. Whenever i breathe in I can feel a ticking kind of noise in my chest. I have a really bad headache that wont go away and a congested nose. I am extremely tired and whenever I go out the light just makes me feel all drowsy. I have this really weird taste in my mouth as well its weird. have tried many times to book a doctors appointment but my doctor is apparently full up for the next 4 weeks. Any ideas on how to overcome this at home?
