Hello everyone,
Both my husband and I got bad viral cold about a month ago. Both he and I went to our doctors - he had chest x-ray, because of exceptionally bad cough, and my doctor listened to my lungs and said the lungs were totally clear. The problem is, I still have cough, off and on. It is also weird : I would not have it for, like , three days at all, and on the fourth day I would again have some dry cough. Sometimes even in the night. And then again, I would have none for 2 days. What the hell is it? I do not feel sick, or stuffed up, although I heard your nose does not have to be running to give you post-nasal drip. I should also say that my husband also still feels like one side is stuffed, and he coughs.
Needless to say, you know what started coming into my mind: lung c. I truly want to get rid of this horrible thought, because my doctor did listen carefully to my lungs! I just want you guys to tell me whether you would go to the doctor again or not? The unwanted thoughts keep coming back, but at the same time I do not want to go to the clinic again, sit in the waiting room among people with colds and all kinds of viruses... I just want to get rid of those thoughts.
Please help with a friendly thought or a piece of advice. Can cough after viral upper respiratory infection, last this long ( a month more or less)? I did not have bad cold or flu for several years before this winter. I do not smoke and do not have any other symptoms.
