I hope someone can help me. I think I am at my wits end and have now decided to try and diagnose myself. I have gone thru so many meds, and ENT, Asthma & Allergy doc, Pulmonologist, more drugs... and so on and so on. First, let me say I have never had a sinus infection that I am aware of in 43 years until now. My struggle is wondering if there could be something inside the hose that is causing this problem. The coughing I am having is deep, dry and constant. It has caused a near migraine and muscle aches all over from coughing. I actually asked my ENT to put me in the hospital so someone could "knock me out" so the pain would stop. Let me know if any of you have symptoms this bad. di

What did the ENT say was the cause of the cough? Have any of your doctors given you a cough suppressant? What pain medication are you on for this?
