<human>: Good morning , I ve been having this annoying cough for nearly a year , been to my family doctor a few times he then gives me an anitbiotic and prednisone . This only stays away for at least a week to 2 weeks then its back. i keep getting told that its an allergy . i need a more permanent solution , i cant handle the cough as it feels as if i m coughing my lungs out and its very irritating to the next person. Also it starts off as a normal dry cough then I become wheezy chesed within an half an hour.
<bot>: Hi, You seem to be suffering from bronchial asthma (Typically cough variant asthma) or may be Upper airway cough syn Chat Doctor.  You need to get yourself evaluated by a Pulmonologist/ Chest Physician. Investigations that may be required are chest X-ray, serum IGE levels and pulmonary function test in consultation with the Pulmonologist. Depending on the evaluation results you may be prescribed certain inhalers and oral medications along with a nasal spray. Also, you are a candidate for yearly flu vaccination and 5 yearly pneumococcal vaccination.  Regards
