If : If a chest x-ray has not been done then it is time. Depending on the results you may even need a ct(cat) scan of your chest. Also a blood test called a CBC should be done to look for clues as to the time of illness you are dealing with (bacterial or viral). A TB test should be done as well. As far as your question, "will the ms make it harder to get rid of this" i don't believe so, but the key is getting an accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment.
Good luck.

Question 2

hi i have been coughing for well over a week. . when i cough i cough up mucus. after long and hard coughing i get really dizzy. ?

Accepted Answer

Sounds miserable: There are many causes of cough, but the most common is a viral respiratory infection.  It can take about a week for a viral cough to even begin to improve, and it's not unusual for the cough to take 3, up to 6 weeks to completely resolve especially in people with underlying lung problems such as smokers and asthmatics.  Seek care if it's hard to breath, worsens or fails to begin improving.

Question 3

hi i have a cold the past week&a cough .but when i cough i get dizzy , it's a v hard  cough'& my  head hurts too. what's causing the dizzyness.thanks?

Accepted Answer

See below.: During cough pressure in chest rises dramatically and pushes against blood that is trying to flow into the chest cavity and heart from the lower body and head.  Cough long and hard enough and flow drops to the point that heart does not have enough blood to push forward. Your brain starves a little for oxygen and sugar - therefore dizzy.  A little dehydration can make this much worse.

Vasovagal: It sounds like your blood pressure drops when you bend over or cough... In the normal sense the body is reacting more than what it should. Also you might have to get your blood pressure checked to make sure it is not varying significantly in different positions like laying, sitting or standing. Lastly positional vertigo is a possibility.
