This year I got very sick three times. Once in April/May where I got a severe respiratory infection, again in October where I got a very bad cold and November I got COVID.
My lungs are fucking scrap. I can't stop coughing with mucus all the time. I have low energy. It's very difficult.
And forget about seeing a doctor. You can't see anyone in clinics anymore, ERs are full and hospitals are at 200% capacity.
I started using symbicort for post infection inflammation and irritation. I haven't had a cough longer than a day for years now. Existing over the counter cough medicine should be outlawed for lack of efficacy.
Still get sick though 😮💨
I'll have to ask my doctor is symbocort is right for me.
(God that sounds like a medicine commercial.)
Haha it sounds silly, but you're right to get them to check for contraindications 😄
I've attri uted it to just... aging? But this year I've been sick 4 or 5 times since August. I don't have kids, I live alone in a big city, but I work from home.
I think the isolation doesn't help with the immune system. We're less exposed to various diseases.
