I am a 50+ year old female with a cough for the past three years. what is the cause and cure?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Too long!: A chronic cough needs to be investigated. Please get checked. Also, avoid respiratory irritants: smoke, fragrances, aerosols, fumes from cooking and heating oils. If your cough goes away with an antihistamine it is allergic. One dose will tell if this is the case. See a doc and sort this out.
