Suggest Remedy For Persistent Cough

Hi, I ve been coughing for nearly two months now, i don t feel sick at all. I ve just been coughing. No mucus or anything out of the ordinary. Breathing is also difficult when my coughing spells are bad. As time goes on, I m cough much less frequently, but I still have a pretty heavy smoker-like cough. Is what I have serious? Why am I still coughing? And what would be the best thing to do next? Thanks, Mateusz Majka

Pulmonologist,  's  Response
Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
You are having chronic cough (cough since 2 months).
We should definitely search for the cause of this chronic cough and treat accordingly.
Common causes for chronic cough are
1. Bronchitis
2. Asthma
3. Chronic lung infection like tuberculosis or fungal infection.
4. Lung cancer.
So better to consult pulmonologist and get done
1. Clinical examination of respiratory system
2. Chest x ray
3. PFT (pulmonary function test)
4. CT thorax if required.
So your next step should be to consult pulmonologist and discuss all these.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
