I am 57. I quit smoking a while ago. I have had a cough for the last 2 months. In the last month I have had coughing fits, which produce very little or no phlegm. I have had a clear xray last week. I take symbicort and ventolin, nasonex, ambroxol, and singulair. I have seen a pulmonologist and that is the source of the meds. I use an air purifier. Some days I have no symptoms, then it will start and can last as long as it wants to. I do not know what triggers it. I just saw a dentist for a pulled tooth and he gave me azithromycin for 6 days. Could it be pertussis? Any ideas?

Although it is unusual to have the cough with having the medications that you are taking, I believe that it could be the azithromycin which may be causing you to have the symptom. Nevertheless, it is very rare even with that medication. I wonder if the air purifier is also taking away the moisture in your home and making you to have the cough. If you have already spoken with your pulmonologist and he has recommended that you consult a psychiatrist, we can be of help if you give us more information. We can suggest medications after a thorough evaluation. Look forward to hearing from you.
