My mom was recently sick and she sounded like she had pneumonia. Her cough was harsh with a lot of phlegm. She said that her body ached. It sounded like the flu to me. Course, i stayed home and took care of her...i got it harder. I had one day where it felt like my lungs were congested and i wasn't getting a lot of air. Then i started coughing and it was getting very little phlegm up. Now i have a barking cough. I don't know if it is the flu or a cold. I still don't get as much air as i should and it sometimes it is hard to breathe. Is it bronchitis? Should i go to the docs?
