A member asked:

After having a collapse lung is coughing a permanent side effect?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Depends: Often a collapsed lung is the result of pathology in a bronchial tube and this bronchial problem may cause chronic cough. A pulmonologist or thoracic surgeon is usually involved in lung collapse and they can answer your questions best as they know your all your specific conditions,findings and status
