Suggest Treatment For Cough, Swollen Neck And Swallowing Difficulty
I am having a hard time swallowing. I had a terrible cough the last three weeks and went to doctor on Saturday. My neck was swollen and bronchial tubes inflamed, etc. because of the cough. I am also a vocalist at church. I also had a terrible rash on my stomach which the doctor said could be a reaction to what my body was going thru. I do not smoke or drink. The doctor put me on a fast pack of prednisone.I can t swallow; it keeps waking me up. so tired of this...
