Coughing since long time
Doctor, I am having cough now since more than 40 days. Its dry cough and I am not having any other problems. I even took some medicines as suggested by doctor, but coughing has not been reduced yet. I am very worried now. Which test should i take to find the root cause and what can be the possible outcome for this?
