I've been sick for 2 months - the doctor is no help - what to do?

Chest and lungs

Hello! I've been battling a non-stop merry go round of the flu/laryngitis/sinuses/cold etc... I've been sick for 2 months. I started to feel better briefly, for about 3 days, then it came back with vigor... I started to get chills, violent chills, 102-103 degree fever. My cough has gotten worse. I had chills again last night with a fever low grade fever. I can't sleep my head is pounding, my chest is pounding. I can't walk much, I can't really do too much of anything. My body is tired and run down and I cannot get it back to where it was.

My doctor is not much help. She doesn't understand why I'd go to her for a cold. My job is getting pissed, even though I'm at work, I haven't called out, even in those 100+ degree fever days, but I'm not doing my job up to par apparently. My husband is getting upset, he told me it's just sinuses and I shouldn't be this sick.

The mucus and phlegm production is awful... white to green to yellow to white to green to yellow and brownish.

WHAT CAN I DO TO GET BETTER?

You need to get into a specialist. You didn’t mention your age but I’m guessing your not elderly or a teen. You also don’t mention anything about having x-rays or ever being on an antibiotic. That could be helpful. I think my first stop would be with an ear nose and throat doctor. A serious sinus infection could cause ongoing problems if they can’t drain properly due to scar tissue from previous infections. If that does not pan out then you could see a pulmonologist. Good luck to you. I hope you get to feeling better soon.

Thank you!
I’m 35, non smoker.
I’ve been given chest x-rays, for a similar problem in the past couple of years, everything panned out fine. The x-ray’s are expensive and my insurance is HORRIBLE! I was on amox. for 1 week. After the medication was done I had an ongoing cough but no other symptoms. Then I felt great for about 3 days and it went down the tubes.

now i have laryngitis again
