Meanwhile over in Europe - went to the doctor in spring as a cough didn't go away for ages. As suspected nothing he could do much - irritated throat, and just at the time when cold season was giving way for allergy season. So he prescribed some nose spray - and asked if he should also add some antihistamine to the prescription to save me a few eur (didn't check, but it probably is single digits. That stuff is cheap)
Shit when I have coughs that go too long I just keep coughing.
As a hospice worker, please don't let stuff like that go unaddressed if at all possible.
Oh trust me the doctors don’t care. Went to the doctor twice already and got sent off after marking me down for general anxiety and possible sleep apnea.
Yeah I have terrible allergies and went to a new doctor, he couldn't do much but I mentioned I use an over the counter nasal spray for $40. He's like oh, let me write you a prescription and now I get a prescription one for free in Canada. Too bad my allergy pills aren't covered though but those are still an affordable price at least.
