Finally Got My Check Up

Last night, I only got maybe three hours of sleep due to my cough. So the next day, just when the Jollibee (Walter Mart Manggahan Branch) opened and after I bought myself a pink umbrella, I was quite ready to have my check up. Everything went well, the doctor was not annoyingly late and he knew the process of my Medserv Card. I went on telling him that I had this cough for a month already, how I haven’t gotten enough sleep due to coughing, the color of my phlegm (which is white), my self prescribed medicines and how I had a flue vaccine a week earlier before having an actual flue (He laughed about it of course).

He asked standard questions like if I have asthma, nostril allergies (if I feel funny in my nose) or Ulcers or Hyperacidity. Apparently these three are the most common reasons for prolonged dry cough. I did not have neither of those. He went on to examine my back (using stethoscope) and told me that my lungs do sound normal. At the end of the examination he asked me to get a chest X-Ray and see if I have Bronchitis, prescribed medicines for my cough (which after I drink I feel super sleepy), anti-allergy meds and antibiotics due to my cough’s duration. (talk about expensive medicines)

At the end of it all, though I haven’t noticed any improvement in my cough now, am just quite thankful I have my medserv card or else I would have been too poor today. This sat, I will be back for the X-ray results and praying that I don’t have any serious illness. Am just scared since most of the people (including me) have not been given good news lately. Oh well! I really hope I could go to that “manghihilot” in cebu where my mom brings me, every time I have cough or “panuhot”.

Please pray for my Health!
