I Developed A Chest Cold In November (around Thanksgiving) And

I developed a chest cold in November (around Thanksgiving) and was prescribed an antibiotic. I finished the Z pack and then 2 weeks later ended up back at the doctor's office due to still having a severe cough and shortness of breath. I was put on Cipro for 2 weeks, a rescue inhaler, a steroid inhaler and mucinex nasal spray. I thought I was starting to feel better around the first week of January and then about a week ago developed a head cold. Well now I feel like I am back at square one because the head cold has now brought on this horrible cough and shortness of breath again. I have pretty much been sick since Thanksgiving and I am at a loss on what to do. At this point the rescue inhaler is hardly working when I use it. I am typically a very healthy person and rarely get sick. And when I do get sick it's never been for this long!
