I started out with a cold and cough. Now I have a cough that won't go away. It feels like my throat is congested. What is this?
Hi, I have had a cough that won't go away. It has been 6 weeks now. First, I was prescribed amoxicillin, as the doc thought I had a sinus infection. That helped the congestion a bit, but the cough didn't go away. Then I was given a zpack which lessened the cough, but I still have the cough. The cough is very light to nonexistent during the day, it really picks up at night. It has been this way the entire time.
My daughter has been coughing for a month now, it's not all the time. During this month she has had pink eye and a ear infection. The pink eye went away with meds, the ear infection is now on week 3. She took amoxicillon (the pink one) for 10 days, and now she's starting amoxicillon (the white one) for 10 more days. As for the cough, she has been prescribed 3 different meds for her cough pseudophedrine, prednisone (orapred), albuterol, and now prednisone again.
She says that she's had a tan for years that won't go away, and you tell her to put some calamine lotion on it... that's the dumbest thing that I've read today in an endless stream of dumb comments.
Why say anything at all if you can't help?
Do this pranayam for 30 minutes,daily, twice a day. You will notice the benefit in a few weeks, and then you will not need to worry.Once you are better, continue the pranayam for 20 minutes daily , for life.
Build up your timing gradually.If you feel tired or dizzy, stop and resume after one minute.
I am a 66 year old female. I smoke a few cigarettes a day. I have had this for about 5 weeks now. It started with sneezing and runny nose (along with sinus congestion that is almost always present even before this episode). The sneezing and runny nose are gone. I am so stuffed up that I cannot get much air through either nostril. This is an ongoing problem that was present when this began.
I have severe chest congestion. This has been going on for about 3 months. It's strange because I will have constant congestion and cough one day and the next day I will be almost clear. I know that if I have congestion one day the next day I will not. I plan my days accordingly. My dr. has put me on antiboitics and presidone twice in the last 3 months, I've had a chest x-ray last week, shows nothing. I have had allergies all my life.
For one year now I've been having problems with this. Since spring two years ago, I've had coming and going problems with discharge and leaking in between bathroom breaks as well as the need to constantly go-go-go (which you can imagine how embarrassing that is when you're only 21 as I was at the time). I wore pads when it started up to control the leaking and stuff and it came and go.
This is actually very very common. Once the lungs and airways are irritated, someone can cough for a couple months or longer after being ill. Your doctor will want to rule out bronchial asthma. A tell tale sign of that is wheezing with the cough. But otherwise, this a common response to a previous air way illness. Hope you are better soon.
Hello,
I had Oral sex with my husband on a Wednesday then vaginal sex. That day I was a little sore but I didn't think anything of it. By the weekend I had what felt like a yeast infection but I also had little dimples around my genital area. I went to the dr on Monday who said it looked like herpes and prescribed 400mg of acyclovir three times a day and sent a swab in for a culture. The results came in 5 days later as positive for hsv 1. The pain was awful even wroth medication.
My son, age 40, has a rash on his "butt cheek" that just won't go away. He has tried many different creams, ointments,, lotion, etc. Nothing helps. Do you think this could be some kind of fungus? Is there anything that might take this away if it is a fungal infection?
