what is your experience? When you take meds,do you still have some cough without caughing up anything except clear mucus from your throat? So in other words, even if you take medication (I am now only on azithromycin and clofazimine; was on amykacin IV for three months) can you still cough? Does it mean your meds do not work? my pulmonologist said unless I have a ct scan we won't know if I am getting better and she is not planning to do it soon. I used to cough nonstop before I started the treatment in April.

My cough stopped totally during the big3/amikacin treatment for 28 months (CT's never actually cleared, but did become stable). 6 months after that, a cough came back and after 8 months of Dr visits at 2 hospitals, it was diagnosed as aspergillis (No MAC). I am being treated for it now.
