I am very scared. I had pneumonia 18 months ago and a chest x-ray showed a shadow on my lung. I now have had a terrible cough (but not sick like I was with pneumonia) for 3 weeks now. Dr. thought wooping cough or bronchitisAcute bronchitis Bronchitis Bronchitis and normal condition in tertiary bronchus Cause of acute bronchitis Cause of chronic bronchitis Chronic bronchitis Croup Industrial bronchitis and gave me a 5-day Z pack. I finished it and am still coughing terribly. I had a chest x-ray which showed a shadow that they think was the same one as before but now it is bigger. I am getting a CT scan but am very nervous. Can anyone advise me on what could be going on? Should I be so scared right now or could this shadow that is bigger now be an inflamation (inflammation) of something? Thanks!
