What is a cough from mold like?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Cough: There is no specific cough type from exposure to mold. Patients can have coughs of varying degrees of intensity, and duration, if they are exposed to mold. Mold exposure can also worsen symptoms in people with asthma or other respiratory problems. A physical exam from a doctor would be needed to help determine reason for cough.
