I've visited the doctor twice. The first time I was prescribed a series of zithromax and the second time I was prescribed an albuterol inhaler. Neither have helped my cough. What's going on with me?

I also had a chest x-ray. It was clear.

Yes, this sinus infection/drainage/cough is about a two weeker, or so everyone who has had it tells me. I've had this s#@t for about ten days. I too went the RX route and I still have drainage and popping in my lungs. I've been a Luggievillie Hocker for sure.

Dear you, tell me, did your doctor prescibe a chest x ray? Its very important that you have one as you may have pneumonia or bronchitis.Im not kidding this is serious.business.Or maybe you have an allergy.The next time you talk to your doctor ask him wheather you should see an allergist. Take care,JAN

You have an upper respiratory infection and a lingering cough. Try some Robitussin DM. I have had pneumonia since Christmas and it works wonders.

You did not say if you have been running a temperature, do you have mucus production? If so what color is it? Do you have other symptoms? Night sweats? It could be a number of things. You should definitely see a pulmonologist.

Better see a pulmonologist and have some diagnostics done. X-rays, CT chest, and sputum culture.

1st of all some docs are so stupid that they wont even give you tests. try to go to some walk-in-clinics and find a doc that actually takes your cough seriously. it might be a problem with your chest or lungs.

You likely have fluid in your lungs. I would say it may be bronchitis or walking pneumonia. Make sure to let your doctor know this is still occurring.

I had the same thing..and then my Dr. figured that my inhalor wasn't strong enough..so he perscribed the inhaler Advair...or also known as the diskus...you should see if it helps..so ask your doctor about it!!

Have you had any x-rays? Do you have or ever had asthma?
Could be allergies, pneumonia, bronchitis,asthma,or even cancer. Ask your doctor for x-rays or CT scan.
