hi, i have identical symptoms and am still suffering after 6 weeks. i have had 7 days of amoxycillin which didnt seem to work and am now on clarithromycin. i have not had an xray. my GP mentioned possible "walking pneumonia". What do you think? I was diagnosed this once before about a year ago....
Hi,
It is nice to know that you are doing well now and your symptoms are now resolved.
Thanks for keeping us posted.
Do let us know if you have any doubts in the future and let us know about how you are doing.
Regards.
Thank you for your response. The cough I had was really a response to the tickle in the bronchial/lung area, rather than a true cough. However, the symptoms have entirely disappeared, but it took a couple of months. I had consulted my doctor and had a chest xray, which was fine. I will keep your advice in mind should the syptom return. Thanks again.

Hi,
Have you been prescribed any medications for your symptoms? Have you ever taken inhaler medications - do they help with your symptoms?Has a chest xray and CT scan of your sinuses been done? Do you have any fever or sputum production? Are you a diabetic?
Do you have any other symptoms like breathlessness, reflux symptoms or heartburn or nasal symptoms like nasal discharge etc.
Chronic cough is usually seen in cases of asthma, GERD or gastro esophageal reflux disease and sinusitis due to the post nasal drip.
You should try steam inhalation, warm saline gargles, saline nasal drops and oral antihistamine medications and see if it helps with your symptoms.
If the cough still persists, it would be best to consult your doctor and also let us know the chest xray report.
Let us know about how you are doing and if you need any other information.
Regards.
