Cough: 6 weeks now; visited gp 3 times, was prescribed 3 different antibiotics, nasal spray & steroids. tickly cough eased but now have rattle in chest ?

Chest xray: Hi! it sounds like your physician has tried a variety of treatment options, and since you now have rattling in your chest it is time for an x-ray. There may be a different cause for your cough that may not be infectious, but the obligation at this time is to make sure your lungs look normal on x-ray.
