i have been coughing for more than seven days now, there is phlegm, and my throat only hurts when i cough. When i talk, it doesnt hurt. my voice is very scratchy. i do not have a fever or chills or anything like that. My friend says it could be mono because i have been kissing a lot of boys lately. What is it?
I will hazzard a guess it is "Walking Phneumonia" I have had phneumonia several times in my life, once I had it and didn't know about it. Which you usually do, because you ahve a fever etc. But the xray came back positive and my doctor stated that I had this - it was going on over 2 weeks. So you do need too see a doctor and have them check out if you have any crackling in your lungs - which is also a sign. I doubt you have bhroncitis because that usually accompanies a high fever and feeling really ill. Doubt it's mono, and it's not from kissing by the way! It is from ANY contact - air, door knobs, touch etc. It used too be called the "Kissing Disease" but not now. Let me know how you make out OK? Good luck!
