Answer 1

Maybe reflux...I cough when I have heartburn. I coughed for 7 months before someone made the connection.

Answer 2

My brother had a cold that went away relatively quickly, but the cough stayed for about 5 months. He FINALLY went to the doctor and they gave him antibiotics. The cough went away within a week. Go back to your doc and get treatment. If you have bronchitis, there must be something they can do for you- maybe see a different doc this time. Don't leave until they give you some sort of reasonable answer and/or medication that will end this for you.

Answer 3

Welcome to my world. Celal. Bronchitis, Asthma and Emphysema are generally classified as COPD or chronic obstructive lung disorders. A couple of sites for you:www.COPD-support.com and www.alpha1.com. Both sites are run and supported by people with one or more of the diseases I mentioned. I have all three of the components, including emphysema which I've had for about 10 years and trust me it is not a death sentence.
However, if you are under 30 and a smoker, stop immediately if you can and do not accept employment in any company which produces chemicals or bi-products which will further damage your lungs. I got my disease as a legacy from my grandmother and mother and as a kid dealt with chronic bronchitis and pneumonia bouts. The more of those you have, the more likely you will eventually develop emphysema whether or not you smoke tobacco. It's not all about smoking as the commies under the bed would have you believe. The US and certain state governments have designated "copd compliant" individuals as a political football to cover for the big oil sanctioned environmentallly polluting automobile industry as well as others.
Bronchitis is usually treated with antibiotics and in some cases steroids to counter the inflammation of bronchial tubes and lungs. You might even ask your doctor about a nebulizer, especially if you are also subject to asthma attacks.

Answer 4

You have bronchitis and there is smoking in the house? You poor guy, you might as well be smoking a carton a day yourself! These two things together will make you have a cough for a long time!

Answer 5

Purchase a bottle of Southern Comfort. They now make an 80, 90, & 100 proof---your choice, and some fresh lemons. Make yourself a decent size shot with several squeezes of lemon juice, heat in microwave for 15 to 25 seconds---then consume. I was raised that way since childhood and it has always cured me. If you happen to ever have a sore throat with the flu or severe cold, do the same thing with hot tea and honey---consume a pint, wrap up and sweat it out.

Answer 6

Could be asthma. Mine developed the same way. I coughed for three years before I went to an allergist. Both my younger brothers had asthma when they were very young but they wheezed. I only ever wheezed once, so I didn't think it was asthma until I went to an allergist. Asthma can be especially triggered by working out. Asthma is closely associated with acid reflux, too, which I also have.

Answer 7

If your doctor isn't doing anything for your cough, especially after three months of it, you need to go and find a better doctor! try finding a specialty doctor, just for your coughing needs. It isn't healthy to be coughing for that long, and it could be caused my the smokers in your house.

Answer 8

If you smoke it could be bronchitisis. It usually last 3 months for 2 years in a row. Reflux also causes bronchitisis.

Answer 9

If medical care hasn't helped you - why not try more conventional (chiropractic) care.

Loads of times, it's something as simple as a bone out of place in the back which is irritating or occluding a nerve that feeds to the respiratory track.

Maybe it'll help, maybe it wont, but if you don't try, you'll stay where you are.
