wait... I might know why I'm coughing endlessly during the night. I just vacuumed my bed and all the related things. Now I'm lying on my bed, and I'm coughing less intensive.

Wait... no... 5 minutes later and my throat wants to kill me again. My throat is still coughing, but I just want to sleep. It has been 4 continuous days that every night I was waking up multiple (>=4) times by the stupid coughing. I WANT TO SLEEEEEEEP!!!

I also take a pill of Loratadine, which should stop the allergy symptoms. But it looks like it's not working, so my coughing might not be cause by dust allergy.

@skyblond You mentioned a nebulizer... Do you have a history of asthema or is this an acute thing? If its an acute thing I'd be worried about all sorts of things. If its a known chronic issue not so much

@freemo No? As far as I know, neither I nor my families have asthema before... Initially the symptoms start with my nose and throat, which feels like a common cold or something. I did have antibody tests for covid, flu a, flu b and mp, but all of them are negative. Yesterday I went to the hospital mentioning the intensive coughing during the night. The doctor gives the nebulizer as a precaution, along with Singulair.

@skyblond Have you already visited a doctor? Constant cough and throat pain may be caused by dozens of reasons, most of that are easily cured, but it's not a good idea to delay. It may be something obvious like an infection or an allergy, or something unusual like gastroesophageal reflux.

@causa_arcana I visited a doctor on Monday, and the doctor gave me Singulair and nebulizer treatment for preventing asthma. I don't know if that's working, since the improvement is not stable, sometimes it feels better, sometimes not. But judging from last night, I was waking up significantly less, so maybe I'm on the right track.
