Hey!
Sorry if my english is a bit bad gut I live in Sweden so it isn't my first language.

Anyway for about 2 months now my throat has been sore and full of slime and I have been coughing a lot.

This has been some sort of sickness that has been increasing and then decreasing. Sometimes I cough my lungs out and sometimes its almost fine. But it is always there and that's the problem. It doesn't want to go away.
Every morning it is the same thing. I spit out lots of slime and cough quite a lot. Then it gradualy gets better during the day to go back to the same state further in to the nigh and I start sounding more like my grandfather than myself.


After two weeks I went to the pharamcept and got some medication agings coughing. Took it for one week but it didn't help...
After one month I went to see a doctor and he did a few test's to see that everything was fine. He check for any signs of bacteria in my throat or some other deciese.. can't quite remember.
The results were that I seemd perfectly healthy on all the tsets but he could see just by looking in my mouth that my throat was swollen. So he said it is probably a virus that mutates and is hard for your body to take care of.


Now one month later I feel the same way and I am getting so frustrated because my breath stinks and I just don't feel fine...

What do you guys think?
I mean I am a healthy guy at 22 years. I usually work out (whan I'm not sick like this) and I don't smoke (never have). I do do some partying but not more than any other student...
Should I go to the doctor again?



Thanks
Wonder

Now one month later I feel the exact same way and I am getting so frustrated because my breath stinks and I just dont feel fine....

Sounds like you have a post nasal drip go to your ent and get proper treatment. Often self medicating can do more harm than good
