A member asked:

I've had an on and off cough for ages, what to do?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Evaluation: Go to the doctor and get checked. The most common causes of chronic cough are asthma, allergies, acid reflux or side effects of medications. If you are a smoker (or were) then COPD is a good possibility too.
