What Leads To Persistent Chronic Cough?
I AM 59 YRS OLD, NON SMOKER OR DRINKER, I HAVE HAD A CHRONIC COUGH FOR 4MONTHS, KEEPS ME UP NIGHTS, WITH VOMITING SOMETING MY FOOD, OTHER TIMES SALVIA. I WENT TO MY REFLUX DOCTOR, HE SAID EVERYTHING WAS OK, AND IT WAS NOT MY REFLUX, HAD A CHEST XRAY, EVRYTHING CLEAR. I HAVE TAKEN EVRYTHING, BUT NOTHING WORKS, AND NO ONE HAS ANSWERS.

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern such chronic cough could be due to some allergic condition, in my opinion allergic condition need to be treated properly and first thing you need to do is get done the routine blood test, because tropical eosinophilia could be the cause of this, some time such chronic allergic disorder can be managed with steroid but you need to be qualified for this, better to see the allergic specialist, take care.
