I seem to constantly have a cough and cold at the moment. GP checked my chest 2 weeks ago and that's clear, and it doesn't seem to be on my chest. I'm seeing him tomorrow for a follow up and think this time it may have depended into a sinus infection. This isn't the first time I've had a problem with coughing

Does anyone else have this? Thank

Members shared their experiences with persistent coughs and colds, with many describing recurring sinus infections, post-nasal drip, constant mucus, and coughs that linger for weeks or months despite clear chest exams. Several members offered practical remedies that have helped them, including saline nasal sprays, Neti pots, Vicks vapor rub, inhalers for inflamed airways, a homemade lemonade-honey-cinnamon drink, and rooibos tea with honey, while others noted that multiple rounds of antibiotics were sometimes needed to finally clear infections. A recurring theme was frustration with symptoms that feel endless and difficult to diagnose, alongside gratitude for supportive doctors who take the time to listen and explore solutions rather than dismissing concerns.

Sorry that you haven't been feeling well.
I have had a ciugh for years. It feels like I have mucus and have to clear my throat , but nothing is there. It is clesr when the gp checks it. Maybe it is one of the many fibro symptoms.

We no doubt have low immunity and are susceptible to everything from weather change to allergens to other people (yeah, I think so--not their fault, they just carry things we don't know they are carrying). This has been one of my first years--yeah, from 1/1/17 to present--for cold-like junk. Have laryngitis for the 4th time since March + it usually lasts close to 3 weeks. Keeping you + the rest of us with this issue in my prayers.

It seems to me the way the atmosphere in the world is now that we are getting more impurities in our system. I have had sinusitis for a long time comes and goes a lot of mucus comes and goes. Try a saline spray for your nose seems to help and not any other meds in your system. It will clean out your sinuses and give you some breathing space. Lots of luck lots of love gentle hugs and easy soft words Christine
