Hi, Dear,Thanks for your query to Chat Doctor. Dear I read your query and reviewed it with context to your query facts. I understood your health concerns and feel Concerned about them. Based on the facts of your query, you seem to suffer from-Whooping Cough-with Bronchitis.?TB bronchitis? Either of these possibilities with other causes of chronic cough need to be investigated and confirmed by Grams stain with AFB smear testing with other tests of TB(IRA blood test and PCR test) and Pertussis(PCR/ Elisa Tests) Cough. Chest X-ray and clinical examination by Chest Physician also is needed to confirm the diagnosis of whooping Cough. After Confirmation- if Erythromycin does not regress the cough/ Azithromycin /or Azithromycin needs to be kept in mind in resistant cases. Hope this would help you to solve your health issues in the best way possible. Welcome for any further query in this regard. Good Day!! Chat Doctor. N. Senior Surgical Specialist. S. Genl-CVTS
