Avatar f tn Seems that there is a cold going around New York now. Starts with a sore throat and then makes you tired and acheu/sore all over. Some people also develop a cough. Seems to last a few days. Anybody else have this one?
Avatar f tn At the beginning of the month I got the upper respiratory virus that was going around so did the kids. all three of the kids stopped the coughing withing a week (so did the co-workers) I have asthma but I cannot get rid of the productive cough.
Avatar n tn For about 3 weeks now, I have been having this sunburned feeling, sore throat, pulsating head and mild gastrointestinal issues. For the 2nd week I also had a cold, coughing, congestion but that is clearing I am fine now in the day and start with the sunburn feeling etc around 5 And it lasts till about 11, and eases when I sleep! Standard blood tests and chest X-ray were fine. My doctor says it is probably a virus! This is so weird .
Avatar f tn An awful cold virus was going through my house last week, and this weekend was my turn. Fever, headache, congestion and cough. I've been taking Tylenol every 4 hours since Saturday to try and keep my fever down. Fortunately, I had my checkup this morning and my doctor said everything seems fine, keep taking the Tylenol for fever and add Robitussin DM at night to help me get at least some sleep.
Avatar n tn Are there any other symptoms or just the severe cough. Have you read my post "ConfusedMan41" just posted a few minutes ago?
Avatar f tn The baby will be fine. Keep the baby in your area. W my last baby I had my 6 yro would be sick sometimes & U just have to keep them apart. My friend had 4 kids who were sick when baby came home & they couldn't hold/kiss the baby. Is the grandpa coughing bcuz of bad lungs/age or is he really sick. If he's going to be around the baby get dr masks for him to wear. Wash hands & hand sanitizer. Use a humidifier 24/7 when baby comes home it helps a lot.
Avatar m tn I have been coughing since September. I caught a bad flu and after that I can't stop coughing. I also went to Asia for the first time in October and with the recent typhoons there, could I have made it worse. I used Biaxin (anti-biotics), started with Symbicort (puffer), then on Alvesco and now I am on Nasacort, Advair and Aerius. Is this a post virus cough, asthma or something else...your thoughts?
Avatar n tn ) There is a super-nasty cold going around right now that that morphs easily into sinus infections -- I just had it for 18 days, when my usual cold takes about 7 to get over. If you have that, I'm sorry! Get a lot of rest to head off the secondary infection.
Avatar f tn Hi i have a 12 year old male staffie who has had 4 seizures over the past 4/5 months other than this and a few fatty lumps he eats well runs around and is very happy but for the past few days has started coughing normally first thing in the morning and when excited cough sounds like he has some thing stuck in his throat any advice ??
1410020 tn?1322299265 I started off with a cold and like a coughing virus. I was tested for every virus the doctor could think of and it came back with nothing wrong with me. I am over the cold part and feel ok but still have a sniffly nose and a cough. When I cough I too can not breath it is very scary and my poor kids are always saying are you alright mum. I am so worried I will have one of these coughing episodes and won't get my breath back.
Avatar m tn yup and also going around the US its allergies but from the environment read up on the chem trails they are spraying toxins over us in UK ..look at the journal ginger 899 has up about them and do some research ...
Avatar n tn If the child had an intestinal virus or bacteria, it would have to go quite the circuitous route to get into your your digestive tract, because airborne germs applies more to sneezing and coughing from colds.
Avatar m tn smoking can cause a chesty cough but there is a flu like virus going around wich also can cause it ? Visit your doctor to get him to check your chest out?
Avatar n tn I was given albuterol, and the first time I used it my lungs did open up (max FEV went from 350 to 475), I could breath better, but I also started coughing up some green phlegm. after a couple of days I had a low grade fever on and off. I went back, was given a z pack, and that seemed to help- no more coughing etc. But within the week I started to have night sweats and episodes of fever a couple of times a day, and have been coughing, sometimes productive, but mostly a dry cough.
Avatar f tn I had him seen twice and it is just a virus. The cough is just finally going away now. Make sure you keep him hydrated...that can account for the stools. Pedialight or milk is fine..not water as they need to electrolights. I can second what Margy said..this is a very very bad year for virus'. Lots of nasty things going around. Our Pediatrician told me 6 to 8 weeks can be very normal for these virus' to run there courses. That being said, listen to your instincts.
Avatar m tn Doctor told me to do blood work it comes normal, then he said me allergy given me allergy medicine and a cough syrup. Did not help but when I took the cough syrup urge of coughing and throat tickling gone for 2-3 hours then again come.One day the cough gone automatically, though it bothers me some time, after almost 5 months with out coughing , last week i had a mild cold, and again that cough came.
Avatar f tn Am 32 weeks and my daughter and husband got the virus today or we found out today and am kinda scare cuz IDC if am gonna get it if its going to affect the baby its Saturday and Dr office is close has anyone gone trough this???
Avatar n tn herpes is not typically a respiratory virus. You aren't going to cough and contaminate objects like you do say cold and flu viruses. if you have a cough and throat irritation, odds are it has nothing to do with herpes.
738075 tn?1330575844 ve had an interesting month of having occasional but spontaneous breathing and coughing issues. At first I thought it was leftovers of that virus I had in April, or seasonal allergies. But it continues. I'll be doing my normal daily activities, breathing normally, and then I'll start coughing for no reason. A shallow, dry, non-productive coughing spell, and then I can't catch my breath.
Avatar n tn Any help as to where to go from here....I am very frustrated. If it is just a virus why is no one around me getting sick and I have not heard of anyone around me going through the same thing?
Avatar n tn My son is 5 years old and was diagnosed with asthma, when he was around a year old. He has been having some major problems lately. He has a constant cough at nighttime, and rarely coughs during the day (only if he has a cold) we had to rush him to the hospital because he was coughing so much he couldn't breath. The dr put him on advair and on pedia-pred about a month ago and not much has changed.
250701 tn?1320974765 Still coughing my head off. I just don't know about this cough, It has just been lingering and lingering throughout the treatment. It really worries me. Gotta go to the lung Dr. this Thur. I know she is going to say stop smoking. I try and just can't right now. God Bless us all.
Avatar m tn im a 15 year old boy student and noticed that people have started coughing around my presence about 4 months ago where it all started when i was in my classroom and two girls were coughing in front of me and ever since then the coughing gets worse and worse week by week. i never stop thinking about it and i have tried talking to my father about this but he says "people are coughing because they are sick" and i know this is not why.
