Can be...: Congestive heart failure can result in a persistent non-productive cough but there are also other symptoms that would be present like shortness of breath, ankle/foot swelling. An evaluation by a doctor is necessary so this diagnosis can be made and treated. If shortness of breath is present, an urgent eval, sometimes in the er, is needed.
