A member asked:

I'm in desperate need of advice on how to relieve a persistant cough. can you help?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

ENT or Chest Doc.: A persistent cough may result from a hypersensitive larynx which is a well documented entity. This diagnosis requires a well trained laryngologist (ENT Doc) or a pulmonologist to rule out any type of bronchitis, pneumonia, or asthma as a cause of persistent cough.

Need expert advice. After you've been sick for awhile, when you get a cough does that mean it's got better or worst?
How serious is MAI, symtoms were a cough now & then. Was told not to take meds unless symptoms get really worse, is this good advice.
