Coughing and keep loosing voice... Help!

[tinklestar10]

Hey i'm a 20 yr old girl whos in pretty good health.I'm doing this post about me. I have had a cough on and off for the last 6 months maybe more. I recently got it back again. I lost my voice in the morning on saturday and again last night. I couldn't talk at all, i was on phone to my best mate and i jsut lost it and she couldn't hear me and kept laughing. It was funny but my throat hurt. I got it back about hour later and it was still horsey. I lost it again this morning but its came back now, i still have a very sore thoat. I suffer a lot from chest infections and when i get a cold i know about it.

I have been feeeling very dizzy too, i felt reallt dizzy last night after i came off the phone and then fainted and felt very spaced out. I couldn't get up because i fell over.

Is there anything i can take to stop this? I'm going to make a app at the doctors tomorrow. But please help in the mean time, thanks xx

Sounds like you have allergies. Have you tried a good anahistamine? The one I like is a prescription called "Zyrtec". I also use liquid plain Robitusen cough syrup before bed (nothing to drink afterward) and it keeps mucous in the throat thinned over night and next morning I do have a voice, even if it might be a little raspy.

Seeing a doctor is a good idea, you will hopefully find out what the problem is and get proper treatment.

Hey.

I dont think its allergies because i don't sneeze. I think it might be another chest infection comming on but i don't know.

Is there anything you can suggest i can take for my throat?

It sounds to me like you definetely have infection going on. It sounds like you might have had infection in the past and never got over it completely.
Your sore throat could be strept so it would be a good idea to go to your doctor and explain all of your symptoms and get an antibiodic.
Hope you feel better soon!
