I have have had a bad chest for over a week now - it started with a tickly cough and has now become som phlegm.
I did have a sore throat too but there was no white lumps, and it wasnt particularly swollen etc - that has gone now.
I feel fine 'in myself' though - no fever or feeling like im unwell from it, so i obviously don't have a virus...?
so am i contagious?
Is it 'bacterial'? or would i feel ill with that too?
I havent managed to cough any out yet - its still very tight and sticks in my throat so i end uo swallowing, so i dont know what colour it is
im asking because i want to go out for halloween on sat, but obviosuly dont want to be spreading a chest infection around etc :(
I think that it is difficult to say whether you had a viral infection or bacterial......probably bacterial, but does it matter as that is now in the past and you are not infectious from THAT infection.Now, I cannot say that you are brewing another infection.....nobody can, but that is what life is all about.........taking chances.
Have a good time on Saturday.
