I was diagnosed with IPF two years ago. My only symptom before I went to see the doctor was persistent cough dry cough. Since the past 7 days I now have been experiencing frequent hacking cough. Saw my family doctor 2 days ago and got prescription cough syrup and antibiotics. Am worried that this could be a result of the progression of my disease. The cough syrup and antibiotic have not helped much but I have phlegm early in the mornings since I started taking my meds.
Hello, According to history, you should be followed up by a specialist of IPF. Please talk to your doctor to send you to the specialist. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
