A member asked:
I have athletes foot and also a terrible dry cough with gagging. could they be related? can a foot fungus travel to the lungs if left untreated?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Unlikely: theoretically possible, practically unlikely. the two are most likely unrelated. you should get your athlete foot treated
