A member asked:
If my chronic cough subsides completely with inhaled asthma med, does it rule out other causes? or does sinus cough and gerd react to salmeterol too?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Likely: A cough which responds COMPLETELY to inhaled asthma medicine is UNLIKELY to be due to other causes, but only a personal evaluation can tell you about YOUR health with CERTAINTY.
