Allergy Induced Asthma Causing Cough?

Alright so since around last March/April I have had a cronic (chronic) cough that will not cease what so ever.

I have been my allergist roughly 10 times since last september to try and solve this, however he does not believe this is allergy related.  The cough did suppress when taking Symbicort 160/4.5, in combination for Flonase, Allergra-D and Singular.  It did not go away completely 100% but it was close enough to live.  

The cough then came back, readjusted the dosage, suppressed, and came back again.  He is consistently claiming that this is unlikely to be allergy related because it does not stay away 100%.  

I want to know if he could possibly be wrong.  I have been reading that allergies can induce asthma (which has been confirmed that I have) and that, that asthma can induce bronchial problems, including cough.  

Keep in mind that I am only 18, and have a severe history of allergies to things such as dust mites, grass, dust, some medicines, and a variety of other things.  

The only solutions that he have provided only mask the never ending issue.  So could this be allergy related?  What is the best course of action....change allergists?  Allergy injections (I have read they help for pretty much every allergy I have)??


Thank you

Hello, I am new to this forum.    I have for many years been battling recurrent Mycoplasma pnemonia (pneumonia).  Mycoplasmas are a bug that are somewhere between a virus and a bacteria. There are different strains of them.  It actually invades your cells and can hide there.  The strain of Mycoplasma I have loves to live in respiratory tissues.  Have you been tested for Mycoplasma.?  It may or may not be this bug, but it is worth looking into.

It can only be found through a blood test and it needs to be done by a specialty lab.  If it comes buck positive (even if they say it was a recent but not current infection then that is probably what is going on)  you should try and have the identity of the mycoplasma made.  This is done through a live bood analysis, as mycoplasma are so small they are difficult to find and can not be grown out of the body.    You need to do this before you go on any antibiotics.  There are antibiotics for mycoplasma but only specific ones work and sometimes you must take them for a long time.  

You might want to go to immed.org or rain-tree.org and read some of the information there.  IT may (or may not) be relevent to your symptoms.  There may be some other things that listed on that sight that you could be tested for.

Good luck and I hope you feel better.
