Cough: Your cough could be the result of allergies as a result of hay fever or mold, both allergens of which are prevalent this time of year. Or your cough may be the end result of a viral illness.If you think the cough is due to allergies consult your doctor. You could try using salt water nose drops for awhile, vaporizer and elevated pillows for a few days. If no improvement, consult your doctor.
