Cough of 1 week duration – may sputum ba? Sabi ni anne meron daw..wala kasi ako narinig na sinabi eh, pero confirm ko pa rin. Update ko ulit kayo bukas.

Patient also drinks a lot, at least 8 glasses of water a day, wala pa dun yung coke litro na iniinom nya at kape, at yung thirsty feeling na lagi nya nararamdaman.

Polyuria – marami daw sya umihi, although hindi na ma-quantify. Basta sabi kung ano ininom nya, ganun din yung nilalabas nya.
