Re: Persistant cough need advice       12/28/05 07:12 AM Edit Reply Quote bamagirl Reged: 04/02/04 Posts: 1407 Loc: Alabama My husband suffered a persistant cough for over a year and finally wound up with pneumonia that sent him to the doctor. He was recommended to a pulmonary specialist and had CAT scans, MRI's, barium swallow tests ect...problem was in his right lung...a brochiectasis...basically a damaged place in the lung that can't clear properly. He will suffer with this chronically from now on unless it worssens dramatically. At the point he can't get well with antibiotics, they reomove that damaged part of the lung. I'd ask for tests. Could be anything from esophogeal problems to lungs. Better safe than sorry. A pulmonary specialist will know what tests to do. Hope you find an answer! -------------------- God is Faithful!
