Should I Be Worried About The Mild Flu And Coughing Fits? I'm Diagnosed With Asthma
in the past 2 days i have gotten a mild flu and developed a non-wheezy cough. At times, i can keep coughing to the point of wanting to throw up (10-20sec coughing fits). I am an asthmatic and have been taking my nebulizer (ventolin and atrovent) once every 4 hours. i have had pneumonia in the past. have i any reason to be worried, do i need to go to the hospital or should i be ok?

Hi, looking at your history since you already have lung condition(asthma) and past history of pneumonia, I suggest you to consult a pulmonologist.
