bug. Her "cold" comprised of a sore throat, rhinorrhea and myalgia. Her tutoring compels her
to go to classes even in the harsh elements and moist air. At first, she just felt tired yet later
she built up a cough* and shortness of breath. At first, the cough was dry yet within 24 hours
of beginning, it delivered plentiful yellow-green sputum. She states, "I cough up a measure of
this stuff each day". She didn't think much about a cough since she consistently coughs amid
the winter of every year. Her mom expresses that she "hacks and spits up" each morning
when she gets up from the bed.
The shortness of breath has compounded so she can scarcely talk now. She
likewise has torment in the left half of her chest when she coughs. She turns out to be
exceptionally worn out subsequent to strolling up a flight of stairs amid a coughing spell.
