cough hasn't got better four weeks on. some recent nights coughed til i wretched green sputum. last night it was more white coloured. achey body. kidneys hurt, stomach hurts probablly from the effort of so much coughing. last night used a hot compress on my chest seemed to help bring up catarrh. i'm getting too weak! now also my head aches when i move quickly especially gertting up or coughing. the cough seems to be less productive (oceans of green goo have come out in the last 4 weeks) but more painful. last night hot compress seemed to help...my little girl had something similar but finally went away. tomorrow i surrender and go to the local doctor, will ask for a TB test (if positive can homeopathy deal with TB?) and xray but still remain reluctant to take anti bios. any suggestion, please....homeopathic or otherwise

I would really want to know what the doctor says first. You should have been offered an Xray by now. Do you have a classical homeopath near you? I know that Classical is not easy to find in Spain!!

y have a family connection with TB ?
Its better if y take regular tests
X RAYS
BLOOD ESR
and Sputum
pls there is nothing to worry but get diagonosed first
the treatment choice can be discussed later
be brave and get all the test better see some good dr
ok hurry
love and regards

Thank you Ricky and Baity both for your replies. I only just saw them. I went to the doctor - xray and TB test - no TB no pneumonia. (Luck yas it turns out that my neighbour had TB a year ago and is still taking the medication) Doctor didn't offer me antibiotics. I went to a Tibetan doctor (the classical homeopath was too expensive for me and had a long waiting list) - he gave me a 15 daycourse of herbs. i am on day 13. i am a little bit better but not better. still coughing up all the time - yellow catarhh. seems to be an endless production. worse on climbing my stairs or bicycle, airconditioning, after 1st half hour of waking up. I'm so sick of being sick! Hard for me to do all the things i need to (working single mum). getting weak and fed up. perhaps the herbs are doing something but its SLOW, been coughing for nearly 6 weeks now. if antibiotics will stop it, i will go beg the doc for them! I can't stay ill so long and i will get really sick if my body doesn't get clear of it soon. it doesn't make much sense as i am (relatively) young - 35, (relatively) fit, eat well, don't smoke or allow smoking in my home, I have been looking after myself no overindulgence for these few weeks...yet it seems to have got hold of me as if I was an elderly person. Tonight I will sleep in a different room in case it has something to do with my bed, damp room (its hot summer now though), or some other geophysical element i am unaware of.
Seem to need a lot of sleep at the moment too.
Thank you thank you and please for any suggestions ideas.

One of the best remedies for persistent coughing is Nat Sul say 1m -take 2-3 hrs before going to bed . If however you are tall ginger haired like cold drinks try Phos same potency but just before bed

i shall also suggest y to take phos phorus 200 one dose a day for about five days and additionally y will get aralia Q use ten drops in water thrice a day
need less to say to avoid cold drinks sudden change of temperatue oily and sour things like pickle etc
do take walk in open air dust free environment and smoke free too
God willing y will be feeling better soon
love and regards

thank you very much for these suggestions . i will try them. i'm assuming that the Nat Sul 1m is a one time only dosage, not every night?
coughing a little less today, mostly when lying down or after physical activity.
a walk in fresh air is a good idea. i live in one of the dirtiest and most polluted dusty parts of the city but will head to the beach for some real oxygen!
many thanks to you all.

Please do NOT take the remedies suggested as this should not be done without a full homeopathic consultation and they could make you worse rather than better. I am horried that such high potencies are suggested on a BB. If you are going to suggest remedies please keep it to a 30C as there is far less likelihood of damage.

Hi
its not such a horrifying act potency does make a difference but y r over horrifying people
May be yr experience is adverse but to me 30 an 200 does not make much difference if prescriber has in mind the difference
love and regards
