Nagging cough
I am experiencing a nagging cough for a few weeks now . It occurs a few times a day with irritation in the throat. I am gargling regularly with betadine and having dry cough syrup. I have no chest pain . I experience shortness of breath only while coughing. Should i visit a doctor . Or let it be.
