@windwalker Terri, oh dear, hate to hear that your cough is back. I've been coughing still for two and half years and I've been doing allergy shots for a year and that's has helped some (I also have cats and one is sitting in my lap at the moment and I'm mildly allergic so go figure). But it's weird because these past two days my cough has gotten worse in the late afternoon, evening....I also have ragweed allergies which is in bloom so I don't know if it's that (even with the allergy shots) or what it is. I just tested negative a few months ago for any bugs so I'm thinking this is allergens. I hope you don't have any bugs back. I would tend to try the antibiotic first and see if that helps since you have it on hand. But I'm certainly not an expert. I think that coughs are such an enigma. I don't think doctors really know what to do with them. I've had two pulmonologists that really didn't seen to care about my coughing. Thank goodness I have a bottle of cough syrup with codeine (but not codeine...it's something else because you're hard pressed to get codeine anymore) for when it ever gets bad at night. And then I changed it up with some over the counter cough syrups....keep us posted on how it's going. Nan
