A member asked:
I have had tonsillitis for two weeks now. past three days i have had uncontrollable coughing which is extremely painful. could i have something else?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Tonsillitis is a regional issue involving part of the upper airway.It is not uncommon for areas such as the sinuses to become involved with the infectious process, and or a respiratory irritant could trigger drainage that would set off a chronic cough.A re-visit may sort this out for you.
