I have had a persistant cough for 2 years now after a about of pneumonia and bronchitis. At first I thought it is just lingering after the illness because it was a bad one.  I do have asthma but no allergies. My asthma is the type where ones body produces extra mucous.  I cough up white thick sticky gunk and sometimes it has a pale yellow color.  I have noticed at times my voice gets hoarse, not bad but I can tell its differant at times.  I have had multiply chest xrays, i have had a chest CT scan and the only thing it said in the report was this
Hi, Thanks for using Chat Doctor. With the history, it does not look like asthma. Asthma is a type of allergic reaction, presents with wheezing, breath less less with cough. I advise you to get done spirometry, as this will help you find whether you are suffering from asthma or COPD. In your case you have RLS and also may be chronic pharyngitis extending even to larynx. Your CRP shows you are being infected somewhere. Get examined by direct & indirect laryngoscopy and get done once early morning sputum (yellow color) / throat swab culture and sensitivity to treat the infection. You should reduce your weight, do regular 30 min outdoor exercises along with breathing exercises and have only required amount of calorie. Hope this answered your question. Get back with the reports and also detailed explanation on your symptoms for future discussion on your management. Consult your doctor for further examination and management. Feel free to ask me if you have any further queries. Wish you good health. Take care. Regards
