A member asked:
Can you please tell me the best possible way to stop a fit of coughing?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Identify trigger: There are multiple reasons for coughing fits including asthma, foreign body in the lungs or esophagus, infections (virus, whooping cough, pneumonia), aspiration, etc . The best way to treat a cough is to identify the trigger and have treatment specifically directed at the underlying cause. A pulmonologist or allergist is specifically trained to diagnose and treat acute and chronic coughs.
