I agree with all of the advice regarding chest xray, apt with pulmonologist etc but in the meantime you would benefit from some good sleep. I'm guessing your bronchial frame is inflamed and you are having a great deal of drainage causing the excess coughing. Delsym is a very helpful OTC cough syrup which will calm your cough. I have had many issues with all that you have described along with terrible allergy's mostly yr round, therefore, I have to take Allegra D more often that I'd like to but otherwise I am miserable. I do not handle antibiotics well at all therefore it makes me nervous to even think about ever if they might be needed.
I truly do sympathize with you and do hope you soon get feeling better.
