what could be the cause of my coughing?
I recently went on vacation for over a month in northern california. on my way back after being on the bus for 19 hours I started coughing and it hasn’t stopped for a few days. I have some theories of whats wrong and wanted some of your opinions
1. the change in atmosphere might just be messing with my body
2. The extremely long bus ride could have just worn down my bodys immunity
3. I got my tongue pierced a month ago and it might still be healing
what are your thoughts on this?
I started coughing out some gunk yesterday for a bit but now nothing. my piercing isn’t infected but I figured maybe it’s part of the healing process. But it’s just a cough! nothing else is wrong which is why I’m so confused. usually I just get sick or get a sore throat.

You’ve probably caught something from someone on the bus ride since everyone was so close. No need to worry, but if it persists, just go to your doctors

Hmmm maybe see a doctor if you think there’s a cause other than you’re just catching a cold. If your tongue piercing is infected would that cause it maybe? I would wait a few more days to see if it goes away.

I have wonderful mmiroees of my father too. He loved motorcycles and would take me from the time I was 3 for long rides with him. he also loved stock car racing and many times he and I would go to our local raceway and watch the races. He loved children and I always told him he would love to be a grandpa and he would agree. Unfortunately depression griped him in his mid 40 s and he ended his life at 46 when I was 16. I was heartbroken since he was my hero and understood me so well. *sigh* 6mos later I discovered I was pregnant with my first baby (I was already engaged) later that year I was wed to my fiance and two months after my 18th birthday I gave birth to a wonderful baby boy! That was almost 15 years ago and since then I have had 6 more babies and I share with each of them the wonderfully amazing Grandpa they never got to know. Inside me lives on his love of life and his gentle love of humans and through that his spirit will continue on. Father’s Day used to bear with it pain and sadness but now, I celebrate who he was and the wonderful things that came to be thanks to him. I know he’d be proud of me and proud of his grandchildren. xoxo
could be a lot of things. what kind of cough is it? are you coughing anything up? what other symptoms do you have? NEED MORE INFO.
