constant dry cough and coughing up dark brown stuff?

Question

so ive been having a dry cough for more than 5 months now & im always clearing my throat. i also have recently started to cough up dark brown mucous and dark green. mostly in the morning, but i also get it through out the day on occasion. im pretty fatigued over things that i shouldnt be, my throat is sore off & on, and overall feel like something is wrong. i recenelty had an upper endoscopy done and found nothing, and ruled out gerd/reflux. i was put on prilosec & nexium just to be sure for 2 weeks, and im going back to the ENT on wednesday. anybody have any idea on what this could be? im literally only 16 and no idea why im feeling this way or whats going on. idk what to do. 

ive tried this stuff;

nexium, prilosec, prevacid.
allergy pills. 
ibuprofen.
and a lot more.

AHH HELP.

Worming does not eliminate heartworm, so that may be a likelihood. If the dog will not be on a monthly heartworm preventative, it's a actual threat. A coronary heart situation may purpose coughing. Probably the most customary reason is kennel cough. No matter what, this little dog needs a vet and soon.

you should ask them to do a chest xray if they haven't already. a lot of the time if the mucus you're coughing up is dark brown or green, it's coming from deep in the lungs. (like pnuemonia). another symptom of pneumonia is fatigue, or shortness of breath after just doing normal things. hope you feel better :)
