My husband has been experiencing allergy type symptoms, constant cough and lack of energy a lot for the past few years. We have assumed it was the allergies but has not found a lump in his glands. Any suggestions where we should go next. He manages to go to work but often comes home and falls asleep right away. Any suggestions where we should start?
Hello dear, thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your problem and situation. In my opinion you should consult pulmonologist and get done1. Chest x ray2. PUT (pulmonary function test). In your husbands' case we need to rule out bronchitis and infection. Because cough with lack of energy is seen commonly in both of these. So chest x-ray is needed to rule out lung infection.PFT is needed to rule out bronchitis. So consult pulmonologist and first diagnose your husbands condition and then start appropriate treatment. Don't worry, you will be alright.
