What Causes Dry Cough And Chronic Bronchitis When Diagnosed With Mild COPD?
Question: Thank You !
What can I do for a dry cough? I have been told that I have chronic bronchitis...(mild COPD)?
I feel fine..no difficulty inhaling no difficulty exhaling...I do have allergies this time of year which is when this happens...it is not constant but annoying.
Am drinking lots of water, have Spiriva respimat to use daily...I would just like to "loosen" cough
