Brief answer: Yes there is possibility of link with Enbrel

Detailed answer:
Hi.. Thanks for asking Health care magic...

You have not mentioned why you are taking Enbrel.. It contains immune suppressor and used for autoimmune disorders.. As it suppress your immunity you have more chances of getting infections.. so your recurrent cough may be linked with it...

So consult your physician who prescribed Enbrel and explain your situation..he can evaluate your condition for any serious infections and he may change drugs and can suggest some vaccines to prevent infections..

Hope my answer helps...
