I have had a cough for about 2-3months now what could it be?

Question

Basically, I have had a almost frog in my throat, its not a proper cough, but its always there in my throat, and when i do cough it sounds quite heavy, and in the mornings I find that something in my throat is quite difficuilt to breath with out the need to cough (im not gasping for breath, but it is something that isnt exactly pleasant!)

I wouldnt say its a big worry, but just wanted to know if anyone might know what it might be, if its a virus, its just because I have had it for months now.

Im not a moker, and do not breath in second hand smoke.

Thanks

Answer 1

I'm no doctor, but a consistant cough, in my experience, may be due to simple things such as allergies, a chronic cold, bronchitis, air conditioner set too cold all the time, things like that. More severe problems may be asthma, emphezyma, throat or lung cancer, etc.

Answer 3

I had a persistent cough for a over a month, including on my wedding day and on my honeymoon. Would you believe it, that after I took someone's advice, I drank tea with honey and lemon and it worked! After over a month of constant coughing!

Try it

Answer 4

I also experienced the same thing way back... I think it lasted for about 1-2 months.

What I suggest to you is to try going to your doctor and have a check-up.  It might be something serious.  At that time, I was diagnosed to have an acute pneumonia, they treat me with antibiotic and it began to settle down.

It may be good if you take a rest and drink more water.

Answer 6

Answer 7

After more than 4 weeks of cough, it is prudent for your GP to organise a chest X-Ray to exclude rarities such as TB. The majority of these prolonged chest episodes are however post-viral, rather than viral. The virus, which is usually long gone, destabilises the respiratory mucosa. This is often called post viral hyper-reactivity. It generally diminishes with time. The lungs however can be re-stabilised by using 4 to 8 weeks of inhaled steroids.

Answer 8

I had this, turnt out to be a chest infection and needed some anitibotics to sort it out. All better now.
