Specializes in Pulmonology

Chronic : Chronic cough most common reasons are asthma, post nasal drip and gerd . You should see a pulmonologist for full evaluation.

Persistent : Persistent cough with head congestion is usually caused by sinusitis. Recurrent coughing can strain abdominal muscles and could explain why your tummy hurts when you cough. This is the kind of problem that your family practitioner or internist should evaluate. I wouldn't rush off to a specialist just yet.....
