Asthma/other causes: One of the symptoms of asthma is cough. Uncontrolled asthma may result in a chronic cough. Other causes such as infections, structural abnormalities, reflux/aspiration should also be considered. Smokers who are near your child may worsen their asthma symptoms, since smoke irritates the airway. It is important to keep smoke away from your child. PRMG fax 858 259 9689 for?s
