Cough, Cough And More Cough

For the past four days all I have been doing is trying to cough. Problem with cough starts around three in the afternoon and it only gets over around midnight. In past it never lasted for so long and wasn’t this intense either. The good part is that I don’t have fever or any kind of infection, but the worst part is that I am so much out of air that I find it hard to speak. Doctor’s advice is to make sure that I keep my lungs clear of mucus otherwise I risk catching pneumonia, in short cough that mucus out. I avoid taking cough medicines as much as possible because it is really important for me to keep my lungs clean, but looks like that this time I have to take some just to get a break from daily episodes of cough. I hope that today my cough goes away for good.
