Cough: Your cough could be an asthma type cough if you are wheezing or could be due to post nasal drip. It could also be due to reflux. An ENT doctor can figure this out for you. A thorough exam should sort this out. Good luck and get that cough checked out.

Time to have checked: Considerations would be asthma, gastroesophageal reflux, or chronic sinus drainage. Rarely would be other lung problem.
