Hi all

Just wondering if anyone else has a cough due to Letrozole. I have been taking this for 18 months and often get a sensation of having to clear my throat. It is not a cough that i have all day just a couple a times a day. I know a cough is listed as a side effect of Letrozole so hoping that is all it is but as you all know our minds can go into overdrive at the least thing.

Thank you

Dee

I have no idea, sorry

I have had a cough, which disturbed me immensely and everyone else around me ... : (

oddly enough after the last chest infection it hasn't been so bad

... I am loathe to take antibiotics unnecessarily but I wonder if it might be worth a shot if it's low level persistent but not a major issue ?

All my friends who sing for a living, that's only 2 or 3 not massive choirs, swear by jasmine tea. Milk also exacerbates phlegm.

black coffee can help clear mucus

that's it, I have no more gems

but worth a try ?
