Chronic cough: A virtual appointment is available. Please monitor for shortness of breath, fever. Provide a sputum sample for culture, have an appointment PCP.Avoid drinking too quickly, note any choking episodes and have a chest imaging study. Avoid smoke and allergen exposure, rinse sinuses with saline to reduce post nasal drip. The chest tightness may indicate bronchospasm and more information may be helpful
