Coughing for 3 months?

Coughing for 3 months?

I have had this horrible cogh for three months, with wheezing, shortness of breath, tight chest. Also, weakness and profound fatigue. I will cough all day and it get's worse at night.  I went to the doctor, they gave me a shot of steriods, steriods and antibotics and an inhaler.  I have used all of these up, and am still couthing and feeling horrible.  Can anyone help me or have had this happen to them?

A cough as you have described can be from a problem in the upper airways, lower airways or both. It is essential to determine the cause of the cough in order to begin to bring it under control. This may be due to a sinus infection, bronchitis, asthma etc. Appropriate testing is essential to help determine the cause (s) of the cough. I would recommend that you see a specialist (Pulmonologist) to begin to evaluate this problem.

You should try Traditional Chinese Medicine. Acupuncture or Herbal therapy will help with your problem.
