chronic cough? asthma? bronchitis? TB?

14.February, 2010

so i got sick about three and a half a week ago, or well i started coughing and thought it was my seasonal asthma. I didnt get an inhaler until a week after to which then i started getting a sore throat, wheezing, no fever, couldnt sleep for two nights because of the cough, it was always worse when i laid down. i went to the doctor then and they told me i had a viral infection so i stayed home and rested. it was a week later when i started feeling better, less coughing, but still there. I started to loose my voice and then i had a click in my throat. I went back to the doctor for the click and they were stumped and didnt know what it was. the doctor said it could have been allergies so she gave me claritin to stop the cough. It did stop it for a while, but it still persists. It feels like i have to cough every second.

anyone know what I may have? any suggestions? thanks in advance.

you probably do have or had a viral flu, all the symptoms seem there. however the "clik"? sound is something else. my guess would be that you have something trapped around the epiglottic opening to your trachea, or perhaps something in the tracheal area. not knowing what you mean by a clik in your throat and not being able to visualize or hear it makes it impossible to be anything but guessy at your problem. however if your doctor seemed unconcerned with it, not even getting an xray, then i’d go to another for evaluation. an inhaler doesnt seem like the correct treatment for the clik issue. probably nothing at all. the flu issue has been troublesome, especially the persistent cough. also lasting fatigue and malaise

    Your symptoms sound somewhat similar to Pertussis, also known as "whooping cough". Symptoms are usually mild respiratory infection symptoms, followed by a lingering cough. However, most people have been vaccinated for Pertussis and should be immune to the disease.
    If you have a history of allergies and asthma, you may be more prone to lingering respiratory symptoms after a cold. Do you see a specialist for your asthma? If not, I recommend you see a pulmonologist who can evaluate your medical history and your current symptoms and give you a more accurate diagnosis.

    Strep throat, get antibiotics. Amoxicillin should do it.
