first thing to clarify is that im not from uk. is it okay?

the real problem is that i have chronic cough twice per year. only can be stop by antibiotic (but cant take same antibiotic) and other random medicine (mostly related to asthma medicine). i wonder if this is cough variant asthma or other pulmonary problem. i had done xray and sputum test, but nothing is wrong with it. i have asthma since i was 5 years old. but the doctor said the cough is not related to asthma, so he gave me antibiotic and the cough stopped. do i always need to take antibiotic everytime im having chronic coughing?

the longest my cough is 6 months. worsen at night. the cough is so worst until i felt pain at my shoulder. hope you can help me.

    Hi. If your awful cough is lasting so long and you keep taking antibiotics, they will lose their effect on you. Try some natural remedies, go get a diagnosis from an acupuncture specialist. If its twice a year, what is different on your life then ? what are you eating, what are you doing different, is your house growing mould ? good luck. . . .
