health thing: so what is this?

[rm]

So out of the blue I have this cough.

My head isn't stuffed up, and my throat and eyes burn a bit.

And when I cough it hurts in my chest.

I mean, really really hurts.

Is this a chest cold? I never get coughs so I don't know? Or do I have bronchitis or something and have to go to the doctor?

yeah, if your lungs are hurting that's not good. Are you producing anything when you cough? Ie: phlegm? if so, what color? LOL. That could be bronchitis if you are producing phlegm. If you aren't, but aren't running a fever then I'd say it might be walking pnuemonia and you need antibiotics for either one.
