A member asked:
Could scoliosis be causing me to cough?

Cough: Would not consider it the cause of the cough. This would be very unusual. Consider a problem in the respiratory system first including infection or asthma.

Not likely: Scoliosis is not likely to cause cough. When one has significant scoliosis curvature of about 90 degrees or greater, it can predispose one to cardiorespiratory problems. Talk to your primary care doctor about your cough.
