coughing
I have a chronic cough and after many doctor appointments, noone can find the cause. Has anyone else been dealing with such a cough?
Hi,
!
I know dealing with a chronic cough can be annoying! Pardon what may seem like some stupid questions, but have you seen and ENT and/or an allergist about the cough? Is it a dry or wet cough? Have they not offered *any* suggestions as to what could be behind the cough? Do you experience any other symptoms, like shortness of breath?
Apolgies for all the questions and please know you do not have to answer them. Some people with Lupus will experience coughing, but it's usually related to another issue, like allergies or a virus or asthma. Also, people with Lupus sometimes experience Acute Lupus Pneumonia, but I don't know if your symptoms quite fit that. You can read more about it here -- https://lupus.net/respiratory. The link also covers other breathing/lung issues people with Lupus might face, so I hope the information is helpful for you.
I hope you are able to shake the cough, or, at the very least, get to the bottom of what is causing it!
