What can i do to address a cough lasting over long period of time.?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See doctor...: The cause of a chronic cough is usually bronchospasm from any cause, post-nasal drip, gerd, or a combination of factors. The treatment depends on the underlying cause so see your doctor for diagnosis and treatment. If you smoke, smoking cessation is needed to decrease the airway inflammation and your doctor can help with this as well.

I think I may have slipped rib syndrome. I can feel something pointy right beneath the left-front side of my rib cage. I can move it with no pain but if I cough too hard or sit down for long periods of time it starts to hurt my upper abdomen and back?
