Why am I constantly coughing?
I have had an on going cough for 4 months now. Went to the urgent care about 2 months ago was given a steroid pack and tussenex. Last week went to the doctor was told she didn’t hear anything thought it might be allergy related gave me zyrtec and an inhalor. Still coughing a lot, especially at night and waking up in the middle of the night can’t stop coughing, even coughed until I threw up last night. Wake up sweating and with a headache. Also I have an ionic air purifier in the bedroom. What else can I do? What’s the matter with me?

Is your cough a dry hacking cough? Have your doctor take a simple chest x-ray. (do not let them make you feel silly this could be very seriuos.)
I have sarcoidosis in my lungs. I have permant lung damage because my doctor keep poofing me off. I let this happen for three and one half years. I went untreated for that long. this is why I have lung damage. Doctors so many times give a z pack (this does help for a while). A simple chest xray caught mine (after I changed doctors) Then I had a painless lung biopsy.
Please, I coughed day and night everyone knew something was wrong but my doctor. If you hired a plumber and he wasn’t getting the job done you would find another one. Don’t let any doctor poof off your aliments they are real!!
Check out Sarcoidosis information. If it is not this at least you have tried. If it is this it may save you lung damage.
God Bless!
Put down the bong.
GET ALERGY TEST

MAY BE T.B.

could be the water you drink everyday. Avoid tap water, always boiled them…
You have my sympathies. I know what that is like, believe me . And these days I have allergies too.
I suggest 2 things.
1. Try get out of the place for a while. Even 3 days may help. But 7 will be better.
You will find that it will disappear … pouf.
2.Boil a concoction. Put in 10-13 pepper corns, an inch of grated fresh ginger, some basil leaves, and 5-6 almonds , 2 cloves, a piece of cinnamon with say 4 cups of water.
Reduce water to half. Store it in a jar in frig.
Take 1/4 cup as warm as possible with some honey for smoothness. Say 2 to 3 times a day. Definitely once in evening.
Sip like tea.
For a while avoid anything cold. Even water should be taken warm. Take a light meal.
Wish you a quick recovery.
no need to worry mate its most proberly a dust alergy or maybe even a pet allergy i get it all the time just go to the doctor and he will give you some tsablets to clear all the gunk out your chest hope you get well soon mate
I to have had chronic cough problems which, for me have been down to:
1. an unknown infection (where I coughed up blood, sore ribs, loss of voice etc)…..apparently I had a bad reaction and my lungs became hypersensitive (I had a bronchosopy). It took months for it to settle down. I would spend 2hrs every night coughing before I would sleep (and then waking up) and this also went on for months.
2. My asthma in general is coughing and mainly at night…it can get much worse with bugs etc and cold temps.
3. I just have had Mycoplasma (mild pneumonia) which was similar symptoms to the unknown virus (which I admit could have been it then) but I had a blood test. (it could have been pertussis(whooping cough) too.
I know how tired you get sore throat etc and with the mycoplasma I had temps, feeling generally unwell etc
I suggest you get another Dr and/or ask for a blood test to cross out infections. Allergies shouldn’t cause you to get temps etc…hopefully that can be sorted out soon.
