Shortly after returning from a trip in January 2010, I developed a serious cough with clear phlegm production. I was diagnosed with bronchitis and prescribed antibiotics, but my symptoms worsened despite treatment. I have been on multiple courses of antibiotics, inhalers, and other medications over the past month and a half, but I still have a chronic cough and difficulty breathing. I'm concerned about the prolonged treatment and wondering if airway inflammation can cause mucus and chronic cough for over 30 days, and how long it might take to resolve. Additionally, could the change in climate from the Midwest to the Arizona desert be contributing to my symptoms?
