A member asked:
Had a chest infection two months ago but i still have a persistent cough now, i'm asthmatic. should i go back to my gp?

Follow up needed: Given persistent cough and a history of asthma I would definitely check in with primary car physician just to make sure everything is ok and asthma is well controlled. With persistent cough you might need to increase dosage of daily controller therapy if you are on any. Good luck.
