What Care Can Be Taken For Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis And Severe Cough?
I was diagnosed with IPF two years ago. My only symptom before I went to see the doctor was persistent cough dry cough. Since the past 7 days I now have been experiencing frequent hacking cough. Saw my family doctor 2 days ago and got prescription cough syrup and antibiotics. Am worried that this could be a result of the progression of my disease. The cough syrup and antibiotic have not helped much but I have phlegm early in the mornings since I started taking my meds.
