[|Human|] Hi There,Im 23 year old guy from new zealand. I have some problem with my throat. i cant get rid of this cough. Amoxycillin doens work for me. i went to local doctor and his otehr antibiotics worked on me before but from last 2-3 months nothing worked. He gave me a medicine, codeine phosphate(15 mg) and that worked. but after 2-3 weeks it came back again. im preparing for police, and now i went to him again and he just cant understand what is happening. blood results are all possitive, chest clear, Xray ok. He said it could be asthma but i cant believe it, i do not have any problem in breathing. im a fit guy i run exercise swim like a normal person and never had this breathing problem so how can i be an asthamatic. im very tensed it will ruin my police career...please help me out...just letting you know, Docs in NZ are not that good.
[|AI|]  Hello, You might be having cough variant asthma. This kind of asthma doesn't show breathlessness or wheezing. So better to consult pulmonologist and get done a clinical examination of the respiratory system and PFT (Pulmonary Function Test). PFT will not only diagnose asthma, but it will also tell you about the severity of the disease and treatment is based on severity only. You will need inhaled bronchodilators (formoterol or albuterol) and inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) (budesonide or fluticasone). Don't worry you will be alright with all these. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
