I've had a cough for 7 weeks..do you know what's wrong?!


Question: I haven't felt sick at all. But I've had a cough going on seven weeks today. It usually starts up a couple hours after I wake up and I'm pretty mucus-ey after eating...I thought it might have been from going to hookah, but I haven't smoked in a long time and it still persists.

Any ideas what could be going on?

Some of the colds going around are taking weeks to get over and the usual symptom is what you have. As long as you are coughing up the mucous it will get better slowly over time. That being said, I would still go to the Dr. and make sure I didn't have bronchitis.

yes eat hethy foods and you will get better

walking pneumonia

there are a million things it could be, including just allergies (causing post nasal drop and making you cough). you should see you doc.

you need a doctor, could be bronchitus- becareful or it will turn into pnuemonia

you might have had bronchiotius

You should see a doctor

it cud be bout allergy, i have never had problems w/ that till the last year when i got that cough (it was rather flat usually) which lasted for weeks too, it was connected w/bronchi n allergy (it may appear at any time during a yr as it might b brought up by many different factors)

but also u may have sth else so u shud better go n see a doc,
u shud really get Xray of ur chest n go n see a doc

a person who gave me a thumb down is stupid as
im talkin bout the facts bout sth diagnosed by a doctor so im correct!

You could have a sinus drip or infection that will cause cough /mucus when getting up from sleep.
Should have it checked out.
