Na Fan Posted December 30, 2022 Share Posted December 30, 2022 These past 2 months I've constantly, permanently had a cold. Sore throat, runny nose, cough and back the the beginning all over again. Not one day passed without symptoms. No fever at all - just constantly sick-lish. It just won't go away. Rest of the family is the same, it isn't just me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nigelforbes Posted December 30, 2022 Share Posted December 30, 2022 Where do you live, North or South? We live in the North and the cooler season always seems to bring with it a new set of health issues that don't normally exist in the hotter months. November/December usually sees me down with bronchitis which seems recurrent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Na Fan Posted December 30, 2022 Author Share Posted December 30, 2022 Centrally - Chonburi on the beach. It's not particularly cold here. We never feel cold or chilly, at least. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mommysboy Posted December 30, 2022 Share Posted December 30, 2022 Possible nasal allergy and recurrent bacterial infection. If so, lifestyle change (take it easy) and antibiotics. See doctor. He/she will probably prescribe an anti-histamine and amoxyclav. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
degrub Posted December 30, 2022 Share Posted December 30, 2022 Have had “walking pneumonia “ before several times. Whole family got it. Mycoplasma , i think is the name of the bug. Treated with 6 weeks of antibiotics to get rid of it. never fever, always exhausted, coughing up gunk, drinking guafenisen syrup to help clear the gunk. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1FinickyOne Posted December 30, 2022 Share Posted December 30, 2022 I go along with the above about a/c... the dust can build up... if you haven't had them cleaned regularly, that is a good place to start. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess most doctors in Thailand are aware of the bad air-quality, at least the doctors in the polluted areas. Do they always get it right? No. But are they better than the average guy in a non-medical forum? Sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brewsterbudgen Posted December 30, 2022 Share Posted December 30, 2022 I seem to get similar symptoms around this time of year - seasonal bronchitis according to one doctor. We moved out of Bangkok 10 months ago, and I was hoping it would be better here in Rayong. But it isn't. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have stayed in well used AIRbnbs where I am fairly certain the filter has NEVER been changed or cleaned. Check/replace filters. Clean your place top to bottom. Wash sheets, pillow cases, towels, etc. Use fans if you can when you sleep. Eat your veggies ???? Check for lizard droppings, possibly in bags of rice, etc. Daunting task I know, but if you don't have your health what DO you have? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
