Coughing For Years, Told Having Asthma, Often Cough While Changing Place. Can I Have Smelling Allergies?

hi, im a 24 years old female(student) and i have been coughing for 3 years or so years now. it first i was told i had bronchitis and then l was later told that i might have asthma. i was given advair , albuterol , prednisone , singulair, claritin and antibiotic( when it first started). but i dont think its really helping. i often cough when i have from one place to another. i guess its the change of smell of the environment. i cough and have tinkly feel in my head when i go to place where there are too many different smell going on. do you think i have smelling allergies? also my bones (the joints) often make a pop/ click noise when i move around especially my pelvic bone. i asked my doctor and she said it might be gas but i think their might be something wrong. because when i run, i feel pain in my leg bone. im not sure if in lacking calcium because i dont really eat food that contain calcium. for the reason i just started taking some multi vit and calcium supplement. what do you think?

Hi, the medication you used are ok for asthma management, you must consult an allergist in order to get some allergy tests. This helps to verify the cause of coughing and after that you can take some measures to avoid the allergens. The doctor will tell you what to do: to increase dosage of medications or immunotherapy if it is necesary. As for the bones you must continue to take calcium suplements because your diet is poor with calcium.
