Guest guest Posted August 14, 2004 Report Share Posted August 14, 2004 Hi all DOes anyone have a solution to my never ending cough. I get kind of worried as that was a major thing the genetecist told me was that if you have a really bad cough: a) get on a cough suppresant and it is really not good for you as you are straining everything when you cough. As you may have read I have been to the medical clinic 3 times this week....I have an eye infection in both eyes now, a sore throat that the doctor says is caused by the coughing. I was up all night lsat night with everything. Now I have this severe (only when coughing) pain near the top of my rib cage. I am presuming that it is from the coughing. I notice now that the pain is also when I stand straight up or stretch out. Does this sound like just a normal strain from coughing or should I treat it as spmething more serious. As I said it worsens as I cough. I mentioned before that the doctor prescribed an inhaler to try instead of the codeine syrup as it has been 4-5 days and still not helping alot. I do question how an inhaler can help with the coughing....my head these days just isn't on straight as maybe I am missing how this works. Anybody know?????? Thanks as always for listening. I know my troubles are not nearly as serious as some but I do appreciate the shoulder & advice. Betty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
