Hi
Are you still smoking, or being exposed to any toxic smoke or fumes.
Emphysema is not often associated with infections unless caused by triggers.
If it's ongoing I would speak to GP, or ask at local pharmacy.
Iam stage four mainly infection free, got slightly bronchi in past twelve months , only to be expected as the condition progresses. Not much of a cough.
I gave up smoking in 2005 after pneumonia. GP's are hopeless now just say irritated cough reflex even though at rest I don't cough. It's only when I'm mobile I have the problem.
Hi Kerry, l woukd go back to your GP as you really should be seen by someone. Good luck to you. Xxxx
