Coughing Attack??

[emily_in_nc]

About 4 weeks ago I had a cold. Three weeks ago I had a sinus infection and took antibiotics for it. It cleared up and for the last two weeks I've been clearer than I"ve been in a very long time. No stuffiness, no runny nose (except when exercising). But for the last two weeks I keep feeling like I have to clear my throat all the time and I've never had to do that before. It was kind of scary how "cut-off" my throat felt from the mucous build up. I hadn't really thought much about it until the coughing spell last night. Thanks for the input everyone. I'm starting to think that my allergies, the heartburn, exercise and the colder air all contributed to the "attack". Asthma or something else? That will be a question for my dr. too...but I don't get to see him for another month.

I wonder if you have bronchitis? That can cause coughing up mucus. Perhaps the antibiotics for the sinus infection didn't quite kill all the buggies, and they went into your lungs and multiplied into bronchitis.

Good luck getting to the bottom of it!
