Anyone experienced the same thing/have any advice for me?

I just moved into a new place the middle of October, and 1-2 weeks later I started coughing and haven’t stopped since. I went to the doctor and he gave me antibiotics, anti inflamtory, etc. While my cough turned into a sinus infection (and the medication made that go away), the cough has stayed. I bought an air filter, a humidifier, and deep cleaned my place multiple times. Nothing appears/smells moldy. Idk what it is! Any help would b g

Huh…. I literally had the same exact experience.

Mid October - cough, doctor, got anti-biotics, anti inflammatory, etc. sinus infection and just getting over it… still have a mild cough.

I left NY for Thanksgiving and still have it, so not sure it’s NY. But wow. Too similar.

Do you have a carpet? Leak under the sinks, water filter? Check out these things

Could be an allergy to something in the air. Try an antihistamine to see if that helps. If it does then you’ll have to figure out what you’re allergic too..

Just moved here from LA in August, developed a cough, got prescribed steroids and an inhaler. It worked until it all came back just a few weeks ago and got the same meds prescribed again.. this time they recommended me to see a pulmonologist (awaiting my appointment to find more) because it is not normal to have the same issues that close together. So you’re not alone and I’m glad I’m not the only one experiencing it too!
