Western medication

I am down with a flu.

I went to pharmacy. Everything is in korean. No western med in sight. TKM? (traditional korean medicine which is essentially TCM)

It progress into a BAD flu. The med is useless.

Cough turns from dry to wet with runny nose and thick mucus stuck in the middle of my throat till I have difficulty sleeping and breathing at night.

I hate this. I experienced once b4 in Beijing and cried for home and papa. haha yea..I'm a weakling when it comes to illness. When I am at home, my parents are there to take care of me. But alone in a foreign w NO EFFECTIVE medication is torture.

There are no GP clinics. Everybody goes to the hospital for ALL kinds of illness.

I am abit worried about my flu now that it worsen. My lab mates are quite worried too cause I practically cough every 3 minutes. Long and painful to hear I guess . It is painful for me too. Everytime I cough, my stomach tightens and tried to expell the thich mucus out but to no avail. Tts why I end up gagging in the toilet most of the time today.

I hate this.

H1N1. Tts what they are afraid of. Suddenly I felt frightened too.

I will visit the hospital tomorrow and they better prescribe me with WESTERN medication with a HIGHER dosage.

I heard from my friend that korean medicines are low in dosage! Wads the point?!

HELP!! What should I do?

PS: No lemons are avaliable in winter.
