A member asked:

Why isn't my dry cough going away even after i saw my doc?

Dr. John Chiu answered

Many reasons: Finding the cause for a chronic cough is often difficult since there are usually more than one reason for it. I suggest that you consult an allergist to get an evaluation. In my experience, it usually takes several visits to find the causes for a chronic cough employing different tests and medication trials.
