Chronic : Chronic cough is something that should be taken seriously. A medical evaluation is definitely in order. Your doctor will take a detailed history, perform an exam, and order testing as deemed necessary. This will likely include a test for tuberculosis and possibly a cxr. Also certain medications can cause cough as well. Hopefully your doctor will be able to get to the bottom of it. Best of luck.
