A member asked:

What to do about a dry cough that i have had for over a month now?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

A non-: Productive cough persisting for a month is reason to see a doctor for history and physical, and then determine whether you need imaging, blood work, or pulmonary functions. Do you smoke? Stop in the mean time.
