A member asked:
How long should you allow a cough to linger before being seen? ppl are telling me it's getting worse. it's a min. prod. cough. oc. chest tightness
A doctor has provided 1 answer
If you have chest sx: if you have chest tightness associated with the cough, I would advise getting checked out. Chest tightness + cough could be due to worrisome causes or could be benign -- the only safe way to sort it out is through a full evaluation.
