What Causes Nonstop Coughing Even After Taking Cortisone Injection?
I had a cortisone injection for my asthma 10 days ago but I am still coughing non stop. Should I go back to my pulmonologist? I am 68, 5feet, 122 pounds. He did a chest xray which showed possibly previous pneumonia which he said was resolving. Sinus xrays were negative.

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
It would be best to revisit your pulmonologist or GP.
The repeated coughing indicates that the acute asthmatic attack has still not resolved and you would need additional treatment.
This should be done as soon as possible.
I hope this helps
