Is my cough permanent?

Even after infections have cleared up, coughs can linger awhile. Sometimes they eventually clear up or lessen, depending on the cause. If it’s solely the tail end of ending an infection, it should clear up.

If it’s from reflux or allergies, you have to treat underlying issue to get it to go away. Famotidine helps many reduce reflux. If it’s poorly controlled asthma, maybe see if your provider may want to tweak/adjust your treatment plan.

The older antihistimines are said to be better at helping with cough than the newer, 2nd generation ones (claritin, allegra, & zyrtec), but the 1st generation antihistamines tend to have more drowsiness as a side effect.

Thank you so much! Are you talking about acid reflux?

It depends on your COPD diagnosis. If you have the Phenotype of chronic bronchitis, no the phlegm, coughing, expectoration will not resolve. Are you on medications to manage your COPD, ie Ventolin, Trelegy, Breztri. Any nebulized medications. Treatment depends on your clinical presentation. Are you on O2, what do your O2 saturations look like? Really need more information to answer any questions. But then again, if you are seeing your pulmonologist he/she should be able to answer all these questions

Yes, acid reflux. Many folks either respiratory condition have varying degrees of reflux, even silent reflux in folks who have no idea they’re refluxing unless they are tested. (I have silent reflux and take famotidine which is an acid blocker every night.)

Interesting.

I cough in the mornings (like a lot of people but DEEP cough in the evenings when lying down in bed. I live in a complex - so my neighbors have to deal with it. I take a Mucus OTC medication... sometimes it helps. I do cough up M & P after I take medications in the morning which have nothing to do with COPD. I feel I can breathe once I do. Anyways, hope you feel better, god bless

Thank you.

If you recently got over an infection… You will have the cough for several weeks. I’ve seen this with my husband… Who has severe stage four COPD/emphysema. You have to let it run its course… Try to get rest… Take some Mucinex DM so that you can lay down and possibly sleep without coughing. Hope this helps.

ok...I'm not sure if I saw "Mullein" on this site or someone told me about it.. Produced by Natures Craft. ~Organic Lung Cleanse ~Of course check with your doc before taking a new Supplement. I have taken it for 2 days and I haven't cough. Sometimes it's the Placebo effect; but I'm going to continue taking it :). 120 day supply - in a dropper format. 120mg. Ordered via Amazon.
