My daughter with CF is 19. She completed a 3 week tune up ( treated with Tobramyacin, Aztreonem, and Predinose) followed by sinus surgery 2.5 weeks ago. She is currently on a twice a day vest treatment, nebulizes Hypersal 7% and Pulmozume. She uses a ProAir Inhaler, Flovent inhaler, and Dulera. Her cough improved initially after the surgery but returned after stopping the pain med (Vicodin) she was given. We have since learned that perhaps the vicodin was suppressing her cough. She also takes Prevacid for reflux. Her pfts show an increase from 82-89% after albuterol, so her docs say she is reactive. She is coughing nearly constantly and is so frustrated. She is trying to get back exercising (running on treadmill) the last few days. Her cough seems very unproductive and nagging. I am hoping someone may have suggestions as to what to try next. Any tips for what you do when you have this tickle at the back of throat that makes you cough all the time? Help! Thanks, Sarah
