I had a allergy test done and found out what I was allergic too. My cough went on for nearly a year. Specialists said it could very well be allergies. I took shots for them for about a year. I don't cough like that anymore and I am a smoker( well e-cig). Maybe this info helps a little.
This does help as I do have hayfever and normally my antihistamine works well but maybe I'm used to it now!! Thanks very much xx
Please go back to your GP. They say if you have a cough for over 3 weeks, get it checked out.
There is obviously something not quite right here. If you are not happy with your current GP, then see another if you can to get proper answers. It may well be a allergy as klfh1 suggested.
Thanks I was arming myself with info as you have to wait for docs appointment and earliest they have is 01 July xx just want to go prepared as a lot of you on here are long time sufferers and have an encyclopaedia of information is genuinely trust lol xxx thanks all for taking few mins to reply xx
I had a sinus flare up and I have hayfever so steroid is for sinuses.... Inhaler is to help as breathing affected due to sinuses running down back throat. X
I am so genuinely sorry to read that and I sincerely hope that you can find some resolution and relief to this issue. I have both Asthma and COPD, and a correlated airway so I am prescribed 10mg of steroids (Prednisolone) daily along with my Ventolin, Atrevent and Symbicort inhalers; yet I still have a persistent cough. I also have a C-PAP Machine and a Nebuliser either side of my bed.
I would definitely get this checked out just to have other illnesses ruled out of the equation. I want to sincerely wish you all the best of luck.
Just a thought - lots of fibromites have acid reflux at night. This can give you a sore throat and a cough. Ask your GP to consider giving you a PPI medication like omeprazole for a few weeks xx
Cough is not part of Fibro . Ask your doc to do X-Ray of lungs. When you are a Fibro patient, sometimes that is all they see . I almost died last year because my doc thought another pain and breathing difficulties were just
more Fibro . The next day I was in ER with pneumonia and 2 blood clots in my lungs . Simple x-rat would have shown .
Going for x ray tomorrow she don't think cough to do with meds but has no clue what it is thinking asthma clinic also and referral back to ENT also thanks all xxx
I hop e you get it sorted.i had my cough fro 2 years and like you Gp said "chest is fine"but considered nothing else.
