coughing for nearly 3 months

[lexie19]

I have been coughing for nearly 3 months now, and its driving me mad...i have been on 2 lots of steriods, 2 lots of antibiotics and my inhalers, but still have this loud dry cough. I feel as if my insides are pushing themselves out as my upper tummy area is swollen, i think from coughing too much. Iam also feeling tiered thoughout the day, but my main concern is the cough which also affects me in the night.

Lexie get checked for Mycoplasma pnemonia with a blood test.  Symptoms include a nonproductive cough, heavieness in chest, sometimes a feeling of one or both sides of the neck as if something feel stuck, fatigue.  This is a difficult bug to get rid of if it has lodged itself in your lungs.  It is an organism somewhere between a varius or a bateria.  Make sure your docotr send your blood to a lab that specializes in Mycoplasma  testing.  They are difficult to detect.  Since there are not a straight bacterium only certian antibiotics work on them.  The antibiotics stop the creation of new Mycoplasmas but it does not kill the current ones in your body.  If you take a short regimin of antibiotics it will come right back.   If you end up having this bug let me know.  I'll give you more info.
