A member asked:
Long lasting, dry, non-productive coughing - x-ray needed, you think?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Possibly...: Possible diagnoses of a chronic cough include bronchospasm from any cause, gerd, sinus problems or a combination of factors. Sometimes a chest x-ray or even a chest cat scan may be needed to help with the diagnosis, depending on history and physical exam findings. Other times, diagnosis can be made without these tests. See your doctor to determine what is needed in your case!
