What can be done to persistent caugh?

What's the cause?: The cause of your cough is the key to its cure. Many viral respiratory illnesses have very persistant coughs - treatable with over-the-counter cough medicine or cough drops. Asthma is a very common cause of cough. Many asthmatics don't wheeze - they cough instead. Gastro-esophageal reflux also causes cough in some people, and is treatable with acid blockers. See your doctor to explore cause & cure.
