It's the middle of the night and im breathing through a bottle. After many unsuccessful attempts at forced coughing, one of my other several online diagnoses finally managed to ease the discomfort in my phlegm-filled lungs. While patients generally breathe through an oxygen mask, here i am inhaling steam and sipping warm water concurrently from the mouth of my water bottle. Not that im complaining though. I feel slightly better now. Maybe downing the whole litre of water made me bloated so much so that it is distracting me from the agonising sensation in my chest. Whatever the case, i managed to cough up a bit of phlegm after one entire day of almost-futile efforts so it does prove that this form of treatment works after all. Well well, im gonna boil somemore water and repeat this process now. Hopefully it'll earn me one good night's rest this week.
