How to cure or prevent allergic problem such as cough at age of 42 year old male ?what will be the effect in case of not taaking precautions ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Need to see Doc.: Cough at the age of 42 may suggest allergic rhinitis, post nasal drip (most common cause of cough), bronchial asthma and gerd(acid reflux). These three conditions, and allergies needs to be evaluated. Allergist/pulmonologist may help. Not treating cough may result in complications like worsening of underlying conditions.
