Treatment For Chronic Spasmodic Cough While Walking, Talking Or Eating?
I have had a chronic spasmodic cough for 8 weeks, unaffected by steroids, antibiotics and bronchiodilators. I have never smoked and do not have any environmental exposures. Car shows moderate para hilar interstitial markings. My cough is made worse with walking, talking or eating. No GERD symptoms but trial of PPI 4 weeks without improvement.
Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic. I can understand your concern. In my opinion, you should definitely consult pulmonologist and get done PFT (Pulmonary Function Test). PFT will not only diagnose bronchitis but it will also tell you about severity of the disease and treatment is based on severity only. You may need ultra long acting inhaled bronchodilators (indacaterol and glycopyronium). Oral combination of antihistamine (levocetrizine or fexofenadine) and anti allergic (montelukast) once a day at night is also beneficial. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
