Violent coughing for a month, even after a round of azithromycin& prednisone two weeks ago. chest xray clear then, but now i hear rales in lungs.

Hyperacusis?: Oh yeah?How did you manage to hear rales in your own lungs?Anyways, if you had a form of Bordatella infection you could be coughing for another month and no antibiotic on Earth will help you. You need a strong cough medicine or two and a doctor to prescribe them.And while he's at it he can listen to your lungs with a stethoscope for rales, egophany and whispered pectoriloquoy and feel for fremitus
