Suggest Treatment For Suffering From Constant Cough
My mother has a cough, which keeps her up night and day. She has had this cough for nearly a year. It is getting worse. They have done all kinds of test and can not find anything that helps. About the only thing that has helped as far as getting her relief is hydrocodone, acetaminophen 5-325. I know she can not take this all the time but it does help. Do you know anyone else who might have these symptoms? She is 80 now. But has been a very healthy person. Thank You for your help.
Ask your doctor for pulmonary function test. Through this test it is hoped that her true respiratory problem will be identified. If PFT is already done there is chance that pathology is in esophagus which is causing cough for last one year. Continuation of symptoms for last one year is significant and it is unlikely that there is no pathology.
