has anyone ever coughed for this long

 hi i was just wondering if anyone else has asthma and no matter how many times you take your meds or what different kinds of meds your on you just cough and wheeze most of the day.  if anyone has ever delt with this or has any suggestions PLEASE reply

Are you having chest tightness too? Do you have a urgent care clinic you could go to? What doctors do you see and what meds are you taking?

I take Singulair, Asmanex, Xopenex as needed, Xopenex nebulizer as needed, astelin, clarinex, a saline nasal spray, Zantac (and a tylenol 3 every 5 hours for horrible back pain) and just came off prednisone.(honestly sometimes it's so hard to remember and I have it on the computer a list of what to take and when kinda makes it easier lol).

I also like drinking teas, just a suggestion have you tried drinking a warm beverage?
I would suggest that you possibly consider going to an urgent care clinic if you can get checked out and have your mind at ease.

I go to the doctor when I can't stop coughing because I get pnemonia so easy. I've had pneumonia 3 times before I turned 18 years old, Last time there were 3 black spots on my lungs. and I've never smoked!!!

Hope you'll feel better soon, you have my prayers and empathy!!!
As alway keep us posted and God Bless and good luck

Hi I am having that trouble now. I have asthma also. I have been coughing for 2 weeks real deep. I just received predisone from my doctor today. I think that will help. I was taking my Albuterol alot in one day.

Medications: Advair 500/50, Nasonex,Albuterol as needed.
I have taken my albuterol right away with spacer right when the coughing starts. It stops soon after taking albuterol. But the cough is really irritating. And has been affecting my sleep. Yes, I would go to urgent care.

If your cough is producing yellow/green sputum, you may have a chest infection and should get checked out in case you need an antibiotic to clear it.  Sometimes, even without infection, I find that the mucous is so sticky that it is difficult to clear.  I am on Visclair (a mucolytic) which makes it much easier to clear my chest and I also use a flutter device after my nebulisers which helps a lot.  A good way to clear your chest without such devices is to "huff" rather than cough for as long as possible, then cough the last little bit.  I don't know how to explain it more clearly, but it tires you out less and is more effective.  I hope this helps.

Chick--I can relate very much so. I feel like I cough all day long. Sometimes it becomes bothersome to me and others. I am in the process of searching for a new doctor so hopefully I can get my asthma under control. I started a new topic last night "Allergies and Breathing--Please Read" You can check out my story there. I wish I had more helpful information for you but all I can say at this point is I feel for you. If I come up with any other information I will get back to you. Good Luck!

Hello there.
