Coughing

Where
Where did you get radiation? It could be irritation/inflammation causing the cough. Ascites can cause a cough if it is irritating your diaphragm. My sister had a cough for over a month. She had xrays and showed nothing. It finally went away and they said it was probably just a viral respiratory thing.0 -

I had radiation to the lymph nodes above my clavicle and I finished that treatment about a month ago.0 -
let your ONC know
My ONC/chemo nurses etc. are always lecturing me to let them know when I experience anything like this. You might need an antibiotic to help you stay on track with your chemo. If it is caused by your chemo treatments, they need to know this also, so they can adjust the doseage. I know that we all automatically fear that every symptom is disease advancement but try to keep in mind what Carlene says..... Not everything is cancer.

cough
Ditto to Maria's post - I was sick with cough I couldn't get rid of and doctors and I thought was lungs since I smoked for many years and gave myself emphysema. Finally put 2 & 2 together and discovered it was sinus infection that caused post-nasal drip that ran down into my lungs at night when I slept and caused cough that wouldn't let up. Remember too that some medications have side effect of cough.
Hope you get some relief and feel better soon. A constant cough is pretty miserable - Geni0
