What would be the best thing to take so i'll be able to cough pain free???

I'm curious about the opening times of the chemists in Ireland....

Its 10 o'clock on a Sat...I fell back to sleep! woke to go toilet there... and the pain is unreal...think iv'e a kidney infection too!!! doctors is it......

Yes, go to the doctor.
In the meanwhile, try gargling with soluble aspirin if you have it. (Swallow it down afterwards).
If you don't have soluble aspirin, try gargling with warm salty water.....don't swallow, though.
Should soothe your throat a bit.
Drink as much as you can for the kidney prob...yes it hurts to go, but you have to try to flush yourself through. Ouch!

Could you have cystitis, claire - that hurts when you wee. If so, get yourself defo to the chemist on Monday, they'll sell you a sachet of stuff to mix with water for a couple of days, that'll clear that up.

If you have got cystitis, washing down below with a little bit of savlon liquid in the water helps, as does a hot water bottle or equivalent on the tum and some paracetamol for the pain.
You can try the chemist's stuff as boxtops suggests, but I usually need antibiotics from the Dr when I have it.
Feel for you, it's lousy. Keep drinking.
