Lingering cough after having a cold?!
Question: Lingering cough after having a cold!?
I had a somewhat severe cold about a month ago, but the cough won't go away!. It's a mostly dry cough, not very productive!. It gets worse as the day goes on!. No chest pain at all, only what I would describe as windpipe irritation!. Does anyone know if this is something that will go away on its own!?
It's really bad when I laugh, I go into a coughing fit!. Very embarrassing at work!Www@Answer-Health@Com

Answers:
Usually it should!. Since you've had it for a month you might want to go to the doctor though!. If the cough is really bad they sometimes give an inhaler or something to help with the symptoms!. Just a side note though- most coughs like this are caused by the cold virus and can't be helped at all by antibiotics!. Lots of people ask for them but unless the doc determines its a bacterial infection they won't do you any good and just mess up your immune system even more:(
Since it is more of an irritant cough rather than a stuff stuck in your lungs kinda cough, you could try a cough suppressant (dayquil etc) to help with the coughing fits!.
Also try- a humidifier in your bedroom at night, drink TONS of water, take extra vitamins, hot herbal tea with honey throughout the day, etc!. Hope you feel better soon, I had the same thing last month and it was miserable!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I've had the same problem!. It eventually developed into asthma!. I've discovered Buteyko breathing!. It has changed my life and I am 99%+ asthma free!. I highly recommend it!. It is totally natural and very effective!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
You need to talk with your doctor!. It could be bronchitis!. Are you a smoker!?
