2016-09-06 21:30:27
I have been suffering with cough from last 3 weeks. Consulted a physician and he suggested me for and x ray and blood test( platelet count, wbc count, RBC count..) after checkin the reports he said nothing is there. He told me that its just a fungal infection and gave antibiotics. I used them and the intensity of cough has been decreased but it didn't go away completely. Now I'm facing shortness of breath even when I'm sleeping. What cud be the cause?
