A member asked:
I have had a bad dry cough for about 6 weeks now. haven't gone to the doctor because honestly there is not much they can do. what could cause this?

Medical visit: not much they can do? really? I think you are mistaken. You will need an examination and an xray. You may need evaluation for allergies, asthma, GERD or systemic illness. You are asking for a diagnosis, but do not want to see a physician?- Really?- I think you have a misconception of this website. Get examined- 6 weeks is actually worrisome.
