Hi I am 21, F, and I have been coughing for over a month now, and it has gotten severe over time- now coughing leads to breathlessness and vomiting . I had some blood works done and E.S.R is at 32mm/1 Hr. The doctor I consulted did not diagnose me with anything. I don t know the cause and I don t know what to do next. Help!
Hi
It could be Cough variant of asthma.
You should meet Chest physician/pulmonologist for complete examination and diagnosis.
Till then ,you take antibiotic like Clarithromycin,Cough syrup and Deriphylline.
You need an Inhaler too.
If you come back with your consultation,i will clarify further.
Wish you speedy recovery
Regards

Hi,
Welcome to HCM,
It seems that you are having chronic bronchitis.
Your ESR is a bit high.
Go for Eosiophilic count, which again gives this type of picture.
Go for X-ray chest to know any problem in the lungs.
After report go for treatment accordingly.
Do deep breathing exercise.
Ok and bye.
Hi Nashra,
i feel you have asthma and acid reflux too. You should go for a lung function test and meet a pulmonologist for the same..Asthma if diagnosed early, can be treated with the right medications.Hope that helps your concern.
