Cough: Ongoing cough can be a symptoms of asthma and if cough persists more than 6 weeks it is considered chronic. Itching can be related to dry skin or allergies. An evaluation by an allergist may find the trigger so avoidance measures can be taken and the least amount of medications used for relief.
