What can treat coughing?
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.
