Last year in early December, I had coughs. At first, it was mild but later it became severe and persistent. I ignored it because I also had a cold. I assumed it was a normal and that it would disappear after a week or two as all had earlier. Three weeks later, I was still coughing. At this point, it was now very crucial to see a doctor because the cold was gone. The diagnosis was that I had lim (kilimi) and so it was cut. That was in late December.
However, after it was cut, I was still coughing. I was told that once the wound heals, the coughing would go and so I believed it. In January, I had to report back to college and so when the set date reached, I just packed and travelled to Eldoret from Siaya.
