This morning when I saw the oseteopath she said the same thing as my sister-in-law. I went in to see my primary care doctor again today and discussed it with her. She thinks it is a cough caused by post-nasal drip but says that the cause of the post-nasal drip is the real question. So she agreed to try the inhaler route. When she brought in this funny looking inhaler I realized I had used one before. So we looked in my medical chart and found out they had prescribed a similar inhaler in December 2003 for a persistent cough. There was no conclusion as to whether it worked, but I never came back again for that cough.... Now I am taking Advair twice a day for the next week or so. Cross your fingers!
