Dry cough

A couple of questions. I had my pacemaker implanted 11-19-15. Had some ups and downs. Started with a sinus infection before Xmas and a cough. Treated with antibiotics infection went away. Cough still hanging on. Started to think I was turning the corner and then my daughters wedding. May have over done it. With 3 days of going now stop. Last Monday I was back to square one sore throat, cough, chills wiped out. Went back to the doctor said I now have a upper respiratory infections. Steroids, antibiotics and cough med. Finally starting to feel like everything is clearing up except the cough. The cough seems to only happen when I try to talk. Any help or suggestions would be great.

Michele196206, I had very similar problems to what you experienced. Pacemaker implant December, followed by sore throat and chest infection. I had an emergency pack of antibiotics, which I used for one week.
Almost cleared chest infection?
Two weeks later, went back for a stronger antibiotic course (the first not quite getting deep enough to eradicate properly).
It has come back once again ... productive cough, sore throat, head old and chills . I let it take it's course and it is now easing considerably. Chest still clear.
I would suggest drinks of Honey, lemon Juice in a glass of hot water. Really lovely drink ,so soothing and recommended by Grandma's everywhere?
Hope you feel better soon?

So, my advice is to go about your daily routine and forget that you have a pacemaker implanted in your body.
