A member asked:

For the past week ive been coughing and i take an asthma pump and it doesnt make the cough go away ? what is this

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Hard to say: You could have a consistent trigger like a lung infection that will set you off until it self heals or is treated. It could also be something else. A visit may be needed to sort it out.
