Constant Coughing

[Kari426]

I'm normally a healthy 22 year old woman with no long or short term illnesses or diseases.  I maybe a little over weight, but nothing too significant.

But for the last 3-4 days I have had this constant cough where I can't stop and eventually end up vomiting.  Earlier this week I had the flu and thought I was developing strep throat.  Went to the doctors and did a test and it was negative and they told me it was a 'viral strep.'  The doctor also listened to my lungs and said they sounded great.  So I suffered a few more days and finally broke my fever.
But since then I developed quite a nasty cough that is making me puke.  Water doesn't help and cough drops don't help either.  My nose is stuffed up on one side and there is clear and yellow phlegm present.  I feel like my cough is coming from either my throat or deep in my chest cavity.

I can breath fine when I'm not having a coughing fit, never smoked, normal appetite, no pressure or pain in chest, and no sore throat present at the time.

If you have any ideas or insight on what may be going on, comments would be appreciated.  Thank you.

Hi
I was thinking that maybe this cough could be the start of asthma. I too had a cough like that years ago and I was diagnosed with asthma, given inhalers and cough went. No problem at all. As for your blocked nostril you could have nasal polyp. I also had this problem but it was both nostrils blocked. I had surgery to remove polyps . Great improvement
