What Causes Wheezing And Persistent Cough With Bad Odour?

I have had congestion, very frequent sneezing, runny nose for 5 weeks now. I got put on Amoxicillian for 7 days and that did not help. The last few days I developed a cough and a very smelly odor when I do. I also have bouts of wheezing and crackling sometimes throughout the day and night.

Hi,

I think that your problems is between a flu by viral infections or a upper airways allergy. In both the antibiotic is not effective. In other hand wheezing is everywhere a sign of constrictions airway in low level of respiratory tract, and both with cough maybe speak for a before asthma situation. Bad odor is by some microbial flora in your tract that activate during inflammatory process and go on after medications. By me you need a Specific IgE (ALLERGY TEST) in order to be clear is allergy or not.

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

Regards,
