Anyone else out there with mostly clear lungs but a chronic cough that won't go away? It's becoming debilitating and my doctors have tried everything. Any suggestions or thoughts?
My name is Brian and I live in Houston, TEXAS. My cough seems to get worse as the day goes on. As it progresses, I start spitting up phlegm. (I call them “furr-balls”) I find my throat gets more and more irritated the more I cough. Sometimes I suck on a honey cough drop, it does not stop the cough but it makes it much less irritating. Hope this helps.
Wanted to let you know I had 3 lavages last year. Coughing and spitting up phlegm was so bad I thought I was going to do again. My Rheumatologist put me on Otezla to help with my psoriasis and with in a week my PAP systems went away. It has been about 5 weeks now and the systems have not returned. I still have shortness of breath, but the coughing has stopped. Do not know if Otezla responsible but I do know that the lavage has been put on hold for a bit.
