My mum as had an horrendous cough for months

The Dr has tried her on 2 lots of different antibiotics and even sent her for a X-ray which came back all clear, anyone else having the same issues?

 

I had exactly that, started in December last year and went on and on. Had 2 different lots of antibiotics and a chest XRAY which was clear. It finally cleared up on its own in mid April.

 

Yes mate, I think it’s going to be a case of waiting for it to go on its own

 

I have had similar issues as yours no

 

My wife has had a dreadful hacking cough for weeks. She is in touch with the doctor who has said that it could be a prelude to pneumonia if it isn't stopped in time.
But hopefully not.
Whatever it is I haven't caught it.

 

I had the same back end of January for 2 months. Two lots of antibiotics didn't help and chest x-ray / bloods all clear.

 

My girlfriend had it for a month. It developed into pneumonia. She's been in St James hospital in Leeds for over 2 weeks now.

 

Same time period as me. It was annoying at the time.

 

Had this in January, finished up with pneumonia and collapsed lung... amoxycillin didnt help so was given doxycycline which did the trick

 

Had in beginning of the year. Suspected Whooping Cough so nothing will touch it if you don’t take antibiotics within a short time frame from getting it. If it is that then Bad news: you just have to tough it out, Good news: it goes eventually and it’s not really dangerous to adults, just keep her away from unvaccinated babies!

 

I've been there, thought it would never pass, I had it for a couple of months.

 

I have read suggestions that Covid infection is leading to an increase in *vaccinated* children contracting whooping cough. Apparently it is known to affect the immune system.

I've just about stopped coughing except when I exert myself from the flu I caught 5 weeks ago. My resting heart rate is also still 12-15% higher than usual although some of that could be the warmer weather.

 

I’ve liked but I obviously don’t ‘like’ this.

 

Its the 100 day cough, Boss.

 

Yes.

 

Lots have had it. I thought I was heading down that route. Thankfully around 2 weeks. Mate well over a month. Last time i spoke to him. Not sure if it lasted much longer.

 

Yes had it from mid December until March nicknamed the 100 day cough part of the whooping cough virus apparently, it was a fellow poster on here who suggested anything codine based, tried it and it helped massively along with lots of Green tea lemon and ginger flavour and a big spoon of honey added.
Hope she gets better soon

 

The Wife exactly the same, could be the new Covid, Doctor not said that, Hostpital a week on wednesday for an x ray. let yer know.

 

Cheers pal,

thanks for all the replies

 

Any chance it could be the vaccine? Don't go mental everyone, it's just a thought.
