Repeated chest infections
I have had a two chest infections and three different courses of antibiotics (amoxycilin, anthromycin and doxycycline) in the past month but my cough still won't abate. Every time I finish a course of antibiotics after which I feel better, within a couple of days the fevers and cough return. The cough produces phlegm and triggers my asthma leaving me lightheaded and breathless. It is very frustrating and I am and wondering what to do. It is not whooping cough as I have been tested from it.
