Question: To all nurses/doctors/or people who know a lot about!.!.!.!.!?
Coughs!?

My fiance has been coughing very badly for about, a week now!.
It's a very deep, raspy cough, resulting in hacking up mucus!.
It's obvious to me that he's in pain when he's coughing!.
He said he's been having Dull chest pains!.
We dont have insurance, and money's tight!.
So, unless it's absolutely critical, a doctor's visit is pretty much out of the question!.
I did a little research, and it came up with Bronchitis as a possibility!.
But, for some reason that doesn't seem right to me!.

I know I gave a terrible explanation, and if you ask specific questions, I'll edit back right away with the answers!.
Please help me with any knowledge you possibly have, I'm very worried about him and I want to make sure he is okay!.

Thank you!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
