Hi. Early May I had a sinus infection, got that sorted, a week later felt rotten thought it was having been on antibiotics- back to GP & was put on 3 days steroids & 7 days of Another antibiotic, while taking 2nd course my anxiety kicked off etc.,  I was back to GP was offered more tablets but said, no thanks I’ve been through enough with them, so I’m now on inhaler, nasal spray, antihistamine and a cold and flu tablet as I’m still coughing.  If you are eating, stop reading!  I’m coughing up white milky gunk.. I’ve been given a letter for chest x ray if I’m no better end of next week.  I’m feeling a bit better already, but if you were me would you go for the X-ray anyway for peace of mind?  Yup took me a while to get to my question, sorry but when I say it at home I’m told “sure whatever you think” 🙄 Thanks in advance for any advice
