A member asked:
Chesty cough for over a month, just realised it started when i came back from working in a belarussian orphanage could it be linked? not too worried

Fevers, sputum, SOB?: Hi. It sounds highly suspicious for some bug acquired while you worked at the orphanage. Are you producing thick phlegm? Do you have fevers and/or night sweats? Are you short of breath? Have you had a chest X-ray? Since it's gone on for a month, I think you should see you doctor. Good luck!
