A member asked:
Coughing for months. dr said either asthma or allergy/environment. been on flovent inhaler for 4 wks, cough still present. would this rule out asthma?

Cough and asthma: Not necessarily. You could still have Asthma. It depends on the dose of the inhaled steroid. You will need to be allergy tested. You doses will need to be adjusted. Good luck. Feel better.
