Common Questions and Answers about Coughing for months
coughing
I have been coughing for nearly 3 months now, and its driving me mad...i have been on 2 lots of steriods, 2 lots of antibiotics and my inhalers, but still have this loud dry cough. I feel as if my insides are pushing themselves out as my upper tummy area is swollen, i think from coughing too much. Iam also feeling tiered thoughout the day, but my main concern is the cough which also affects me in the night.

So, for 3 months now, I've been coughing. Sometimes a lot, and sometimes, like right now, I just get random tickles in my troat with results in coughing.
I've had chest pain before within these 3 months, but it went away. Now it's back, and it's a bid odd. Sometimes it's a burning sensation with over the counter meds for acid reflux can take care of, and sometimes it's random tightness/sharp stings both medial and lateral on my chest. Especially when bending over.
ve read through the comments here just a few days ago because our dog (a shih tzu), Ching-Ching, who we love dearly had been experiencing the same coughing and shortness of breath for almost 10 months. Great news is that just a day or two after reading this thread, I noticed she stopped coughing. I observed her yesterday and today and really no more coughing from her, not even once! Thank God!
I've been coughing for 2 months and still going. It's almost only at rest, not when I speak or exercise. IT feels like a tickle, most of the time like it's from the deep parts of the troat. Clearing my throat doesn't work, only coughing.
It's driving me crazy. Some clear mucus does come up, sometimes a bit of yellow too, and sometimes nothing.
No other symptoms. No breathlessness, no blood..
Have been to my GP, waiting for the results of a mucus sample.
I have had a headache for several months now which moves about from one part of my head to another. Most of the time it is not very bad and may, for a few minutes, go away. I do not feel it at night. Coughing gives me a really blinding, acute pain mainly in my forehead which gradually subsides to the usual 'flitting' pain over an hour or two. Drinking water (!!!) fairly frequently seems to keep the sharper pains away except when I cough or bend down.
I have always been a non-smoker and have had a persistent cough for about 9 months now. My MD initially prescribed antibiotics, something for post nasal drip and allergy pills. None of the above helped. I proceeded to meet with an ENT doctor. He prescribed something for reflux which didn't help. Then I received a lung X-Ray which showed my lungs were good, and had a pulmonary function test which showed I didn't have asthma.
I am frustrated and tired of coughing.

I started wheezing, coughing, and spitting up phlegm (yellowish in color) about 8 months ago. Since then I have been on various rounds of antibiotics, prednisone, cough syrups, singular, symbicort, albuterol etc. I had been treated at the allergy clinic years before for allergies and asthma. I have had to take about 8 days of 10mg prednisone about 4 -5 times in the last 8 months. It is about the only thing that helps my coughing and spitting up of phlegm.
Coughing for 3 months initially brought on by walking pneumonia. Dr says it is asthma related and gives us inhalers that don't seem to work. The odd thing is, he does not cough when laying down. Another Dr told us there is no way it's asthma because it would get worse laying down. Missed 2 months of school last winter and 3 months this winter. Looking for answers or suggestions.
This continued to help a little, but did not stop the coughing. At that point, I had had this cough for about 4 months. That was about 6 months ago. Since then the coughing as not gotten much better, or worse, but I still am coughing an abnormal amount. I have also gained about 20 pounds since getting married, and been experiencing a lot of heartburn. I initially started getting the heartburn while on the steroids, but it has not gone away after getting off them.
I also have a dry cough I have had for a couple of months and the tickly throat, which causes me to cough,I also get some Head aches, and fatigue, in my area they are using sprays called chem trails and this is one of the symptoms folks are getting here in California , actually they are spraying the chemicals around the world as part of a program ..there are a couple of journals up on MH about this .
Cancer, anywhere in the respiratory system, including throat, larynx and lungs can cause a cough, but once begun, it would be very unlikely for it to continue to diminish. For that reason, I agree with your primary care provider (PCP) and do not believe a visit to an ENT or a pulmonologist is warranted, unless the cough would recur/worsen in the immediate future.
By convention, a cough is not considered chronic until it lasts more than 3 months.
I've had this really bad cough for like 2 weeks n it just gets worse n worse to the point where I start losing air cuz I can't stop coughing. My mom thinks I might have bronchitis.. sadly I had to Google it because I didn't know what that was. N now I'm freaking out..
