Dry cough lasting 3 weeks
I have dry cough from the last 3 weeks and i am unable to get rid of it despite using cough syrups. I always tend to have cough for weeks. I am also having difficulty in breathing lately and i am unable to sleep properly at night. I am beginning to experience anxiety issues. I have been told earlier that i have asthma symptoms and i am afraid that i might have triggered it. Please help me diagnose my situation
Hi. I understand your concerns. you will need to undergo a detailed examination and investigations like chest x ray to look for infection. you will also need a pulmonary function test which is needed for diagnosis and also to assess severity of asthma based on which treatemnt can be started. Consult a pulmonologist for the same. hope your questions were answered.
