Problem in breathing while coughing
I am having cough since past 25days but from past 7 days while I cough I face problem in breathing for about a minute. I don't have any problem of breathing while I don't cough, no nose blockage. I consulted a doctor he said to get an x-ray of chest but it was clear.

You might be suffering from post viral cough which is a common type of dry cough syndrome after an attack of viral upper respiratory tract infection. Usually it will resolve on its own within few days. Only symptomatic treatment is required. You may need to take dry cough syrup, strepsils lozenges and steam inhalation for faster recovery
Next Steps
Consult nearby ENT specialist for confirmation of diagnosis and appropriate treatment if required
