She’s eating fine now. She was after the fruit. Loves raspberry ?.
I’m ok feeling drained.
rang the hospital up. Apparently someone is going to ring me back and talk me through the results so I’m kinda shi? Bricks at moment.
Hang in there. You will be fine. Just rest, rest and rest some more.

Thank you. I hope it goes soon. I’ve been taking cough syrup cavornia. But hasn’t touched. Any recommendations for a dry/chesty cough would be gratefully received
Get a wash cloth or towel and soak it in boiling water.... when it’s cooled just enough to touch, use it to breathe through. The steam will do a lot for the dry cough and chest pain.. I do hope it passes quickly!

ooh I like that one. Even adapt it and put the cloth in the hot water with the vicks. That would open up your chest very nicely.

I’m going to try it once I’ve had this phone call.
wouldn’t tell me results over phone. All I got told was I’ll be called for some one to talk me through the swab results. And bloods.

We use Vick’s ALOT here too... all of us are blessed with the seasonal allergies and sinus issues.. I keep it by the bed so when my nose gets all stopped up, I’m solution is handy:)
I remember when my son was little, there was an occasion that I used Vick’s on him. My husband absolutely freaked out and demanded that I swaddle him up and not take him out at all. Apparently he was told growing up that Vick’s drew Pneumonia. It’s an old wives tale that I DO NOT believe in. For me and my children, it has fixed all sorts of breathing and cough issues...

Vicks is awesome. It’s Great for so many things.
I put is little radiator hangers in my home when I have heating on to purify the air.
ive mixed it in hot water too and put the mix in a spray bottle and sprayed my pillows down with it.
the plug it’s tho are not so great.
I used a lot of vicks when all of mine were young. My grandmother used to go wild at me. For same reason as you. That vicks can apparently bring out pneumonia. But I think it’s a load of cobblers.
It’s awesome stuff. I will definitely try it out on a soaked cloth

Where has the tome gone??

I do know that they say you cover where you put it because of the menthol in it. It can make feel colder if uncovered. Which might not be a bad thing if you have a fever.

Oh dear. :(

If they have diagnosed something then at least they can start treating it properly rather than just recommending symptom relief.

Look after yourself! Big electronic hugs from me
