This might fit better in some allergy related forum, but I (and likely millions of other Americans...hehe) find that when the main allergy season comes, like NOW and in Fall that I can't go outside for over 20 min without feeling bad later in the day. To elaborate, I take Combivent inhailer, Advair inhailer, Zyrtec and Nasacort for regular, daily allergy preventative medications. Like I said, if I'm outside for under 1/2 an hour and come back in, later in the day the back of my throat will be really tickly causing me to cough badly. I find taking Robitussin CF(doc rec.) is the best liquid cough medicine for CF patients and then like lying down-leading to short nap "usually" helps control my cough for when I wake back up. On my last visit to the CF clinic, I told the doctor that allergies make me cough quite often. There are times when the cough is almost uncontrolable and I almost have to try to keep myself from coughing to stop it and take down cough medicine. Now, I know it might be largely due to excessive drainage from the sinus cavities whereas I hardly ever have headaches. So.......I was seein if anyone else here has this annoying cough FROM allergies. I might be preaching to the quior(sp) being a CF Forum but I figured I'd give it a shot. Next visit, I plan to really try to get a good answer and find out more about drug alternatives. I've thought about allergy shots but who knows.
Little history: I'm 22 and have had CF all my life. According to my doctors, for having CF, I'm extremely healthy. Lung functions are very very good, so they say. As a baby, the only way they found me to have CF was due to poor weight gain. Seems allergys are worse than my actual CF....hehe.
