I just got her 2 days ago and she keeps coughing as if she has something in her throat. I don’t think that she swallowed anything though. Do you think she might have caught a illness from another dog at the shelter?

I read online that Kennel cough is a related strain of virus to that of Whooping Cough. I’m concerned cause I have a dog and a 15 month old at home, Dog has Whooping cough and Baby is always near the dog.

My baby has had 3 vaccines for the Whooping cough, 2 months, 4 months and 6 months, and will be going again for her 4th shot in 2 weeks.

I read that people who are exposed to Whooping Cough if they take anti-biotics can prevent getting the infection, but I don’t want to give my daughter antibiotics if I don’t have to, but I also don’t want to ignore it and have her get it.

My husband said first of all it’s a dog, not a human (although web sites say it can be transmitted from Dogs to Kids), plus she’s had 3 vaccines against it.

Anyone think I should get the antibiotics or am I just being over paranoid?

I take Claritin and Flonase. Each fall I end up with a sinus infection which eventually turns into a chronic bronchitis, which tends to linger for several months. Chronic cough and hoarseness are common symptoms. Does anyone have any good preventive medications or ideas which I can use to build up my immune system? (I also take 1000 mg. of Vit C each day, plus a multi vitamin.)

So I have had a cough since last Wednesday, at times having moderate coughing fits lasting about 10 seconds. I have had a light runny nose, not drastic. And a back and fourth headache and bodyache and the feeling like I have a fever. It comes and goes throughout the day, it usually starts right around when I get those moderate coughing fits, and I sound like a whale. Well Thursday my high school sent home a letter saying a kid in my school was diagnosed with Pertussis, Whooping Cough. They told us that if we show any cold like symptoms along with a cough to immediately call our doctor cause it can spread like wild fire. Honestly, is it really all that contagious? They said if you catch it in the early phase antibiotics can make you noncontagious within 5 days, but that if you wait and blow it off it can take up to a month to heal.

I have a horrible cold and the worst stuffy nose ever…does anyone know any nasal decongestant over the counter that actually works?

I htink i have one or the other. But whats the differance between then, and how can you tell them apart?
This is going to sound gross, but i am couching up green chunks. When i breathe out, it makes a weird raspy noise, and when i breathe in, it hurts and makes me cough

My 5 wk old baby has a cold, and sometimes she coughs so much that it goes on for like a couple mins straight, and she gets all red and a bit of spit even comes up to the her lips. It sounds like shes choking on her own saliva. The dr said there is nothing to give her cause shes so young, but I worry cause when shes coughing like that i don’t know what 2 do, I am scared she will choke. Can she? Is there anything else I can do?

My 2 1/2 year old has had a dry, scratchy cough for a couple days now. No runny nose, congestion or anything else, just the cough.

What you recommend? Meds or no? Any other suggestions?

Thanks in advance.
it’s nothing serious enough that I think a doctor’s visit is required.

I know this is a horrible thing to ask. but do any of you out there do drugs of any kind, and if so, why do you? I have never done any thing illegal, but lately, i have been getting high on Dxm, which if you don’t know is cough suppressant. Its a weird high. but i kinda like it. i feel guilty about doing it. but i enjoy from time to time. is that so bad. if i do it once in awhile?

Its the non-drowsy kind with 1.4% of alcohol & 15 mg of Dextromethproan??? I’m thinking about using no more than about 3-4 full cups worth for tonight? I tried it before but w/ the drowsy kind. What do you suggest?

I’ve been having the flu, fever, sore thoat, muscles aches. Now I just keep coughing. What alternative medicine is good to take for it?

During New Years day I felt sick with a headache, runny nose, and a cough. Today I still have that cough. The only thing I could think of why I’m coughing is because of asthma since I had it when I was 5 years old. Any other suggestions?

i was exposed to pertussis on august 5th. shortly after i developed a cold and ear infection that lasted about 1 week. since then i have as a persistent dry cough that causes me to vomit large amounts of clear mucus. i sleep an average of 2 hours per night as the coughing is worse at night. yesterday i lost my voice. i have been to the doctors 6 times and he believes its its a virus that i have as i have been fully vaccinated as a child.however he did prescribe a course of antibiotics erythromicin. i am in so much distress, so tired, my ribs are absolute agony. And to top it all off i am 30 weeks pregnant worrying that i may pass this on to baby when he is born. please someone give me some advice, i dont know where to turn……

I’m looking for a chronic illness involving coughing, possibly physical weakness, paleness, (something wrong with the lungs, perhaps?). Anyone know anything that sounds like it could fit?

My daughter have a severe bronchitis and mild asthma, she started to have fever and cough sat. august 8, she’s taking medication but I’m worried because until now she’s coughing and she said chest is painful every time she coughs and she’s still weak.

I have low oxygen levels (87%) but I can’t understand why im wheezing? please help

thanks
Also Im 22 and illnesses such as bronchitis haven’t been ruled out. Also I tend to have a lot of yellowish mucus coming up in the mornings
Also I have not smoked for a whole year

I had a cold 6 months ago or something like that and used this bottle of nasal spray so I could breath to sleep at night. Well, I had a stuffy nose the other day and used it. Now I have a sore throat, stuffy nose, and I keep sneezing. Is it possible that the virus was withheld in the bottle and I’ve given it to myself again? I feel awfull.
