Itch in the Throat

Here I am again suffering from asthma, four (4) months after my last post.

The strange headache I felt two days ago made me realize I did not have an ordinary allergy, but a cold virus because the headache was accompanied by a little awkwardness in the throat.

In ordinary allergy, I would exhibit symptoms of cold. I would be blowing my nose but after sometime I would forget about it. But when the symptoms of cold is accompanied by a headache and the awkwardness in the throat, I know immediately that I caught a virus and not an allergen.

I had to do something because I could not afford to miss a once a week seminar in the University of Santo Tomas. So, I once again referred to my previous posts here which (posts) served as my guide to the medicines to buy.

I started inhaling Seretide and taking Cefixime two nights ago. I should be taking Ansimar too to relieve me from the itchiness in my throat.

Aside from these asthma symptoms, I also feel pain in my right buttock near the bottom of my backbone. My coughing triggers this pain.

A vain, or a muscle must have gotten out of alignment.

Chest Pain

The pain I felt inside my chest when I woke up made me realize indeed I have asthma. The pain comes nowhere else but from my swelling air tube that connects my nose to my lungs. This pain I used to ignore and just associate with the over all experience of having an asthma. But as I grow older, I learned to pay attention, identify and pinpoint the source of my discomforts.

This pain gets worse when I cough. It's the tearing sensation from my throat transferred to the inside of my chest. It's like my airways is constricted or swelled and yet it is forced to stretch every time I cough. Worse, to cough is not something we voluntarily do.

I have been taking inhalation medication since two days ago, realizing only now that its content is depleted.

I bought a new inhalation solution and I don't feel as much discomfort as I felt when I woke up.

With the self-administered anti-biotic, inhalation, and another anti-asthma tablet, I hope I get well four days from now, the latest.
