What Causes Persistent Cough, Asthma And Loss Of Voice?

I have been sick since December 11th. I am 31 years old, extremely fit, aquatic director and swim coach for a day job as well as ski instructor on my days off. It started with a fever and dry cough. It has turned into a looser cough after 5 days of prednisone, 2x daily nebulizer treatments for asthma and lots of robitussin/nyquil. I have no voice and woke up sicker today then I have been since 12/11. What do I do?

hello, welcome to healthcaremagic

ideally, there is much more that should be detailed or enquired about your symptoms like

cough with expectoration or blood,
pain in chest
side of chest
wheezing croups
dyspnoea
fever
etc

you should visit a nearby MD MEDICINE OR PULMONOLOGIST

for symptomatic relief you may have,
syp. ambroxol 2 tbsp BD
Tab PCM 500mg BD
asthalin inhaler SOS(if you are asthamatic)

Antibiotic course needs to be given but only after proper investigations.

hope it helps.
thank you.
