On the inhale.
Oh, just thinking about, no, when you're talking about the sorts of horrible noises that kids can make when they're sick, it gives me a shudder because it is, it's a scary thing to hear or to think of happening to your kid.
I suppose with Jive's question, they're asking about just sort of like run of the mill common cold or post flu coughing.
And you're trying to figure out when it's the disgusting spluttering cough that is spraying viruses all over your co-workers in your office, or when it's that irritation of your throat that you just can't seem to get over.
But
Otherwise, you kind of feel fine.
They call it a hundred days cough, don't they?
That's one of the names for it.
It's interesting that you mentioned bronchitis, so inflammation of the bronchia.
Is that what you're talking about?
And I know sometimes when a cough has hung around for a long time and when you are coughing, especially at night and it keeps you up and you can't sleep, even if you've only been coughing for a week or so, it feels like a lifetime and you'll do almost anything to make it stop.
There was a study that looked at
patients' expectations around how long their cough should last and people basically seeking out antibiotics for a cough, which we know if the reason for your cough is viral and you don't have a bacterial infection, then antibiotics are at best useless and at worst potentially contributing to antimicrobial resistance.
Well, the irony of this is that you can be infectious before you start coughing.
In fact, we know with a lot of respiratory diseases, you're most infectious right before or right at the very beginning of having symptoms.
Yes.
And so, yeah, let's talk about the infectious period, what we know, especially when it comes to common colds.
Yeah, there's this thing called presenteeism where people turn up to work even when they're sick.
And not only is it horrible if you're the co-worker of that person because you're worried that maybe they're going to infect you, it's also not a very productive way to work if you're not at your best.
My, my non-professional but very vehement advice is if you're unwell, stay home, stay home, stay on your couch, let your body recover.
