Whats the difference between asthma and an asmathic cough?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Condition vs symptom: Asthma is a chronic condition marked by episodes of reversible airway tightening. It has a large variation in intensity per patient and frequency of events. There is a significant genetic component. An asthmatic cough just describes the inferred quality/cause of the cough described.
