My reg dr is on vacation, and i have a nasty cough that i think needs to be seen. is it ok if i see my previous dr ( havnt seen him in over 4 yrs)?

Why not?: I would think your previous doctor would be happy to see you back again. But since it is over 3 years, you will be considered a "new" patient so be aware of the re-establishment of the relationship. You need to stop smoking. Your cough is not going to get better with all that smoke in your lungs......
