My goal was to get a cough syrup with codeine that was given to me by another NP 2 years ago. My cough went away when I took that med. Well this time I was seen by a different NP and I plead with him to please give me that also but he won't because it's narcotic and he don't want me to depend on it.
I've been coughing since March which he said is a chronic cough and nothing I take helped. I got a chest x ray. The technician was very sweet and nice, xray went smoothly. Knock knock on my door while I waited in the room. Good news your lungs are clear, there is no infections, you're normal.
What!? I don't like that answer lol. There is something wrong with me. I was upset to hear I'm clear. Can I have antibiotic I asked, no he's not giving because I have no bacteria in my lungs. What I have is a viral infection and there is no treatment for it but time. He prescribed me Promethiazine DM. I research about it, it's for cough and allergy.
That night I took and slept very well and my cough improve. Now I'm thinking, wait all this time I have allergy to everything? Great! Now my body changes that my coughing is related to allergy. Glad it's not covid!
