bad cough-athsma or allergies?

[Miss Priss]

I had a virus about a month ago no fever just a sore throat, headache & a cough. I went to the docter a week & a half later & he gave a breathing test which showed that my breathing was abnormally low, & also an oxygen test which tested 96 or 97% (normal 100%) & so he gave me a breathing treatment & maxair autohaler (inhaler aerosol) and prescription singulair and the diagnosis was chronic cough/wheezing and he told me to call back in two weeks if I am still coughing It has been two and a half weeks and I still am coughing. He refilled my medicines and that was it. The cough is really bad sounding it sounds really deep (wheezing) & sometimes I get it when I'm outdoors or from smoke I don't think it's athsma b/c why would I just all of the sudden get athsma? I don't know if it's allergies, I've had pets all my life & I havent got a new pet or anything. There hasn't been anyone around me will a serious cough either and I don't have more dust in my house than usual. WHat do U think?

It could be either. If you are not comfortable with what your doctor has told you, ask more questions or get another doctor. You pay them - get the service you pay for.
