A member asked:
Persistent dry cough since december dr didn't know what it was saw no signs of infection but gave meds the cough slowed down but is back to constant?

See pulmonologist: Since cough medication may suppress the cough but would not fix the underlying cause. I recommend that you consult a pulmonologist. Note that the most common cause for a chronic cough is from post-nasal drips.
