I Have A Harsh, Noisy Productive Cough That Has Not
I have a harsh, noisy productive cough that has not gone away in 6 months. I have a history of Valley Fever pneumonia, numerous other pneumonias; mycobacterium avian; bronchiectasis; and costochrondritis. Is it possible this is an allergy (no OTC oral antihistamines have helped) or could it be an exacerbation of the myco or possibly both? My current treatment is exercise and expirometer 2-3 x day. No fever, no fatigue. Thank you!
