Lung disease?


I am 27 and have suddenly developed a chronic cough. It started with burning sensations in my lungs for one week, then i got a sore throat, now i have a chronic cough that has lasted one week which is getting worse everyday. My throat, now gives me this "dislocated" feeling by popping and clicking when i swallow. I have been exposed to second-hand smoke my entire life and I smoked for 10 years before i quit one year ago. Could this be a lung disease? at first, i thought it was a cold but nobody caught it around me and its only a cough and the cough is getting worse everyday. Its torcherous at night, I cough ever 3 to 5 seconds at night. I made an appointment with my general doctor for tomorrow morning, but should i get my lungs checked out? and by who a pulmonary specialist?
Could this be a lung disease or cancer?

Let's see what the doctor says first. It just maybe some thing that the doctor can treat. If your doctor doesn't find anything
have him/her recommend a pulmonary specialist.

Good luck!

Your doctor will find that you very likely have brochitis or tonsilitis aggravated by inhalant allergies or rhinovirus. You'll be fine. I was exposed to 2nd hand smoke for over 18 years...It was a thick cloud throughout the house, and I'm fine. Coughs from the problems I mentioned always get worse at night.

Yes see your doctor and see if you should see a pulmonologist (lung doctor)
