What could be wrong with me?!


Question: What could be wrong with me?
I am 14 and i have smoker's cough even though i have never had a smoke in my life. What could this be?

Answers:

Could be a number of things. One thing, if you live with smokers or are around smokers, it could be from the secondhand smoke. I grew up in a household of smokers and i had the cough too. Second it could be something like bronchitis or asthma. A lot of people suffer from both of those and they arent uncommon to have in the wintery months, especially bronchitis. Asthma might not show up right away in tests, but its possible. Third, you could just have a chest cold like an upper resporitory infection. Not too bad to manage, antibiotics usually do the trick. Last, it could be pnemonia, but it might be unlikely. You should research it and also bring it up to your parents/guardian about how youve been feeling so you can proper medical attention. My fiancee has had asthma for 2yrs and was JUST diagnosed with it 2months ago. It took the drs and pulminary specialists about 18 months to properly diagnose her. So just take caution. But please make sure you tell someone.
