unicorn 4 Posted October 21, 2018 Hi . It’s been 2 weeks now that my cough hasn’t gone away . The 2nd week is worse ‘cause my throat is just itchy and I feel like having to cough for it to not be itchy but it gets even more itchy . There’s still phlegm but it’s a little bit clear . I’m really scared as to what it is . I’ve tried a nebulizer and it does help bit this time it wasn’t helping soothe the itchiness of my throat . Has anyone else experienced this ? Also I’ve had office mates who still have the cough the same week as I am but a little longer . Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MARC 429 Posted October 21, 2018 My internal medicine and ENT physicians told me that coughs can linger for many weeks. It may also be allergies or sinus issues. If it concens you, you can always call your physician and explain how you feel. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Iugrad91 501 Posted October 21, 2018 I emailed my doc one winter and said I’ve been coughing for 6 weeks and she said whatever was going around left a lingering cough. She suggested Flonase and a med to loosen mucus and eventually it went away. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kindra 87 Posted October 22, 2018 Have you tried an allergy medicine to help with the throat itch? My anxiety gives me an itchy nose and even tho I don’t have allergies, allergy meds help the itching. Or a tablespoon of honey? That has helped me after a cold. Or steam? Hope one of these suggestions help! Feel better soon. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ashleyspicer84 84 Posted October 22, 2018 Try cough drops to sooth your throat. The Vick’s ones are the best they are gross though. I had that same tickle cough for almost three weeks. It’s the worst but just allergies. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Patsimp 0 Posted October 22, 2018 Cough drops should reduce a cough. For more issues consult the doctor. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
unicorn 4 Posted October 22, 2018 Hi everyone . I just got back from my doctor’s appointment . My doctor asked for my blood count and my x ray . She heard some noise on my back as she checks my lungs . She told me that it might be pneumonia due to having ny cough for like 2 weeks now but she had to see the x ray to confirm what’s wrong . She prescribed me Fluimuciln to get rid of the phlegm and Zykast for anti allergy . I just took my anti allergy pill and I’m coughing like crazy that my neck already hurts . I’m also afraid of what it could be my chest and back doesn’t hurt tho . Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
