Coughing problem... very weird.?

Question

ok well...

a few months ago.. or perhaps it was about a year ago..

I started coughing........ and didnt stop.. for a long time... like a month or 2 or something. then it went away..

and now recently, it started again..

It's like. I FEEL fine.. i dont feel sick at all i just cough all the time.. I am SO embarrased at college when i cough so much.. i have to suck on something like hard candy or something so it calms down a bit..

It SEEMS to be worse at night for some reason.. sometimes i get coughin so hard my face turns red... it's really weird...

I fell asleep on the couch once and my dad said i didnt cough in my sleep..

does anyone have any idea as to what this may be??

It's very odd... and i looked on the internet and couldnt find anything real helpful.

Thanks for your imput! :)

Also.. it's not like a hoarse cough.. it's a dry normal cough.. like if something went down the wrong way only without the something that went down X_X

so i DONT think it's whooping cough

No i do not smoke.. i never have..

my dad smokes.. but he has smoked forever and this problem started just recently...

Answer 1

Listen up you. Go to your doctor. Don't mess around and think just because it went away once it'll go away again and there's not a problem. I don't know if you know who Billy Jean King is. She was a very famous tennis player. She had something called walking pneumonia and didn't know it for years. I'm not saying that's what you have. I can name other things. Some very serious. Some not. But only a doctor can make the correct diagnosis. Maybe it is nothing. Maybe it's something serious. Make the appointment tomorrow. Do it!!

Answer 2

I had a similar problem before. I actually cough for the whole month day and night (almost every minute). It was so annoying. The following are the things that I did to alleviate my discomfort:
1). I went hiking for 2 days in the mountains. Walking up and down the mountains for many hours (try not to rest too much, vigorous hiking helps). And spend 2 nights there. My coughing actually stop.
2). After 2 weeks later, it was about to come back again. I took 2 multivitamins (have large amount of vitamin a, c, and e) everytime when I felt I was about to cough again. I also drink alot of warm water, not cold water. My coughing did finally stop.
Hope this will help you too.
