Hello, I think I have a cold or flu. I m in bed, sometimes have fever, headaches. I had to go out briefly to buy medicine 2 day ago and I almost fainted, couldn t walk in a straight line, couldn t open my eyes much. However I am a little worried about my cough. It just won t stop. All last night and this morning I need to cough every time I breathe in, so I m scared to breathe. My stomach and head hurt every time I cough. Sometimes I bring up phlegm. Is it a normal symptom of cold/flu to literally cough almost without stopping for hours? I am a 34yr old woman, non-smoker, and healthy. I am 5 9 and 130 pounds. However I have had 3 colds this year (all with cough) already. Normally I get colds only about once every 2 years.
