I feel like I've been run over by a freight train.
Sam feels that his cold is getting worse and the cough has gotten deeper. So he goes to see a doctor. The doctor prescribes some medicine to loosen up his chest and calm his cough.
Hi, how are you feeling?
Horrible! I got a cold five days ago, and now it seems it's getting worse. The cough has gotten deeper, and I feel like I've been run over by a freight train.
Well, let me take a listen to your chest. Deep breath in...and exhale...
Hear anything interesting down there?
It sounds like you have some congestion in your lungs. Have you been coughing stuff up?
A little, but not too much!
Well, we need to get that junk loosened up. Here is a prescription.
What's it for?
It'll help loosen your chest up and calm your cough. I want you to take it every 4 hours for a week, OK?
And don't forget to drink lots of fluids.
You got it. Thank you!
