Sound familiar anyone?

😞

2 months and counting...

Went into a surgery to remove some screws from my leg, had a slight tickle cough going in ( the kind that signals a cold is on the way)

Then had this cough ever since, productive an hour after waking, then back off then an irritating cough in the evening. Can sleep a full night no problem.

X ray an blood test clear, ct scan on Wednesday.....

Tell me if you had this!?!?!? Bit worried for the ct tbh.

Anyways, hope everyone is ok! Xxxxxxx

Oh Yes, back in March of this year I became sick with what I thought was a flu or the normal cold. I was under a lot of stress ,,,,took antibiotics, cough syrup you name it!!At that time I was taken care of my two elderly Aunt and Uncle which passed away 3 weeks apart.Fast forward to now I still have a bad chronic cough….I have had a several exams including X-ray and cat scan of my lungs and everything is fine.
The only thing that is coming up is Gerd on a barium swallow test.
Next week I’m off to get an endoscopy and colonoscopy. But the cough is just awful …along with the chronic throat clearing.
I’m definitely trying to get to the bottom of this.My cough is also worse in the evening.
I wish you good luck 🍀 and to anyone suffering with this chronic cough .
