Bronchitis X(
A few days after I arrived in the USA, I started feeling like I had a cold and a scratchy throat. Because I already had my flu shots, I was sure that I wasn't coming down with the flu. However, the cold and scratchy throat transformed into a cough that I couldn't seem to get over from.
So two weeks after I started having difficulty with coughing (and me being stuck at home), I went to an Urgent Care facility for a check-up. The doctor there said that my symptoms point to bronchitis, an illness that hasn't bugged me for a few years already. She assured me that my breathing should become easier in a few weeks but I should return to the facility if my cough worsens and/or I develop fever.
In the meantime, my inhaler (which I rarely use) is now accompanied by a second inhaler! My medical kit has become a bit bulkier!
