Ho-hum, bronchitis again....

Fly out to Thailand. It's just for one or 2 days.

I have been 'analysed' by the best private hospitals in BKK and Pattaya, and none of these specialist doctors were able to find anything wrong with my lungs!!

 

Even as I am coughing up copious amounts of green/yellow phlegm, they glibly announced that my lungs were all fine and x-rays show up no shadows or fluids in my lungs....

 

The same with the NHS doctors in the UK 18 months ago....

 

So I've learnt to live with this problem, and living in southern Thailand by the sea definitely minimises the symptoms.  But for charitable reasons, I'm back in Mandalay, Myanmar.  This weekend I'll buy some salt. During the day, I don't cough much, but it comes on at night when I lie down.  Hence sleeping with my bottom in the air and head over the end of the bed so the phlegm can come out more easily.

 

@Globalres, there are very few medicines available here in Myanmar, and Lazada etc do not deliver to this country. I'll see how it goes with salt gargling/nose washing (I did this previously in THailand and it does help).

Hmm, can I bring my Myanmar students with me?  I'm in Myanmar for a reason!

Does any 'one' of them have bronchial problems by any chance?

Isn't bronchitis a virus that is transmittable?
