    Yes Sarah I do have a cough some days better than others  but I'm having a job getting my sinuses sorted back to doctor in morning  I think this Costco brings you down so low it's a long way up to recover from other illnesses as well

    Sounds like you may want to get ct scanned. Have you had this or been x-rayed recently? I too had a Kung infection at the start plus acute-bronchitis plus pneumonia... After 8-months not convinced there's not something still smoldering like a virus or bacteria. I've no cough since the initial bronchitis. I was on prednisone though for a while to kick that... Maybe you should try that to kick the inflammation fueling that cough.

    My daughter has recently been diagnosed with Costochondritis. She has asthma, which makes the chest pain worse if she coughs a lot. Now that her asthma is under control and she isn't coughing the chest pain has gone. It took a long time to get better as it is easily aggravated. I hope you manage to get on top of it soon.
