Chronic cough: For the past year plus I have had a terrible cough - it started out associated with a cold and I thought it was no big deal - but it never went away. I have some post nasal drip and do cough up some sputum. I have had a chest xray and breathing tests (normal) and tried antibiotics, advair, claritin and zyrtec to no avail. The cough is better some days and worse others. It seems to be random, although it is worse when I lay down. But when it is bad, it is bad, I sometimes throw up and some nights my husband won't sleep in the same bed because he cannot sleep while I cough. I cannot continue to live like this it really affects my life and I want to get over it. My next step is seeing an allergist. Should I do anything else? See any other kind of doctor?
