hi i've had a constant deep cough and wheeze for 4 weeks. i cough til i'm sick (sorry for tmi) dr sent me for a chest x-ray which came back clear. i've just finished 7 days antibiotics but am still coughing. any exertion sends me on a coughing fit. my chest feels very weak and my breathing is painful. when i breathe in i wheeze. i've done steam inhalation every day for about a week but not making any difference. i have a ventolin inhaler to help me breathe although i'm not asthmatic. i don't smoke and am generally quite fit. i don't have a temperature but everyday life feels beyond me at the moment i feel exhausted.i know this isn't so serious but it's really getting me down. my pelvic floor is shot from the constant coughing and i'm having to wear a pad any advice on what to do next gratefully recieved.
