I finally worked up enough courage to go to the doctor. I found out that all of my excess mucus was about disease of the airways. I was given MEDROL 4 Mg. Dosepak and told that THIS Is the only thing that can cure it.
Prior to going to the doctor, I used various antibiotics to try and cure this ailment but NOTHING was successful.
Nevertheless, I took MEDROL before and it worked WELL.
I was also given zrytec and an albuterol pump.
I was told that I have a bit of asthma also. Asthma tends to develop in a lot of people with allergies. The cause is unknown.
Well, I couldn't leave you all stranded out there. I just went to the PROPER doctor on 2-19-04 and got what I KNEW I needed all alone.
Good luck to you all and do not be afraid. Talk to your doctor and ask them if you have disease of the airways and asthma. Then ask them if Medrol would be an option for you.
I know how you felt because after every meal and many times before, the fluid would bubble in my chest until I coughed it up.
This is my 3rd day of taking the medication and I feel a HUGE change.
If you have a JPS (John Peter Smith) clinic near, go there.
This does not at all suggest food allergy.
Your episodes of coughing may be due to a swallowing problem. If your vocal cords and/or windpipe are not closing properly when you swallow you could be aspirating.
Agreed...many things can be going on here....aspiration of food should be ruled out! see your health care provider...
DEFINITELY speak with a doctor promptly. S/he can examine you and help determine what is going on. There is no reason you should allow yourself to have this problem for so long--please make an appointment and get checked out. This type of situation cannot be diagnosed by internet and should not be allowed to persist for years.
