Suggest Medication For Incessant Cough That Lasts For More Than Three Weeks

I have been incessantly coughing for 3 weeks straight. I have been treated with z-pak, Claritin, guafenesin with codeine, inhaler, prednisone, tessalon perles and delsym with no relief whatsoever. I do not have any head congestion. My CXR was negative. HELP

General Surgeon 's  Response
Hello,

Possible inflammation at bronchi or alveolar level, not shown up in the x-ray. Needs pulmonary function test, allergy test for further management guidelines as almost the majority of the medications were already given.


Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel
