Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I have had a persistent cough for over 2 month.i cant seem to nail what brings it on,i often get it when i get up in the mornings or after eating and temp changes indoor/outdoor i cough quite violently and it almost makes me gag/vomit..i bring up slight amounts of clear phemgm ..my heart beats quite hard(i guess thats normal ) when i cough alot exercise doesnt make it happen..and after 10-15 mins im back to normal . I went to to a quick care and the nurse practiioner she said I have bronchitis and order an antibiotic called augmentine. I finished those and no sign of progress. Then went back and they gave me sth called levaquin. This last one seemed like it helped a lot but the morning coughs are still there and sometimes it blocks my breathng like an asmathic person. is there any over the counter medicine that would help?
