I ve had a chronic cough off and on for about 2 years. Primary doctor sent me to and ENT. The ENT left me a voice mail on my home phone. It s after hours, so I can t call them till tomorrow morning.They said they sent a RX to my pharmacy for Bactrim DS and Bactroban nasal ointment, but they haven t gotten the scrip yet. Am I contagious? I m supposed to go out on a date Wednesday. Should I call and cancel?Thanks,Mark
Thanks for your query at Chat Doctor! You are suffering from chronic cough and getting treatment with mupirocin and septal is not helping you. I suggest you need proper evaluation to find etiology. Do you have productive cough with sputum? Is there wheeze? Post nasal Chat Doctor. Yes it may be contagious if you have infection (TB, etc.) until unless proved otherwise. Take care!
