Most people when sick Cant “breathe properly”

Do you go to the hospital every time you catch a cold?

As I clearly said in a comment on here, if her breathing is rapid and shallow go to the hospital. If it’s just harder than usual, especially factoring in the obesity it’s not a life threatening issue. Just an annoying one.

If she gets the cough under control which is easy to do with otc products, her breathing will get easier. If it doesn’t then yes I agree go to the doctor.

Most people don’t have thousands to throw at the er because they are uncomfortable.
