Specializes in Internal Medicine

Dry cough: Are you taking any medication for blood pressure? It could be due to a medication like Ace inhibitors or you Might be suffering from allergy. Do you have any other symptoms? It is a chronic cough that definitely needs a work up at Least a chest X-ray . You should visit your PCP for evaluation.
