Maybe. Maybe not.: One's primary care doctor can evaluate. Many things can cause a cough. Allergies is one of them, as well as infections (viral is quite common). Asthma, non-allergic rhinitis, big tonsils, laryngospasm, anxiety, stomach reflux, esophagus problems, etc..., are some of the other causes. If a cause is not found at the first visit, a patient can keep a diary of symptoms and return for follow-up visits.
