A few months ago I went to the doctors because it felt like I couldn't get over this cold. I was coughing up greenGreen tea mucus and coughing and I had terrible congestion in my chest. The doctor told me I had a chest infection, put me on an antibiotic and gave me an inhaler. ( I was told I had asthma when I was 11 but stopped taking my inhaler a year aafter because it literally felt like my body was rejecting it). As soon as I was out of the antibiotic my symptoms came right back. I went to a different doctor ad he said that my air tubes were very narrow and mucus would stay there and I was prone to have so many infections. He put me on AdvairAdvair diskus Advair hfa, didn't work. Then I started coughing which would last more or less then 10 mins up to the point where I would actually feel like throwing up and my ribsRib cage pain would hurt. I went back to the doctor and told him all this and he told me that there isn't anything to do because I have him stumped. He doesn't know why I'm coughing so much and why none of these medications are helping it. I was testing to see if it was my asthma, but taking my inhaler does't help it. So I took cough medicine, cough supressents you name it, it didn't work. Does anyone know the slighest reason why I would have these cough? Sometimes its dry and sometimes it's not but it's getting really annoying, esp that these doctors can't tell me anything.
