A member asked:
Should i see a doctor about my cough if it's been almost 8 weeks?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes..,: This is considered a chronic cough. Etiologies for chronic cough include bronchitis (acute due to infection or chronic due to copd), bronchospasm from any etiology, gerd, sinus problem. The treatment for each of these is different and it is possible to have more than one at once. So, you need to see your doctor for diagnosis and treatment. If you smoke, you need to quit asap.
