My 62 yr old father has had a constant cough since Christmas.  He is a life long NON-smoker.  Wont go to dr. because he has no health insurance.  Other symptoms are not sleeping well at all and feels cold even when the rest of us think it is quite warm in the house
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. Chronic cough is commonly seen with lung infection and bronchitis. And these diseases can't diagnose and manage a home. You need to take him to hospital and get done chest x-ray an PFT (Pulmonary Function Test). On the basis of reports he will need antibiotics and inhaled treatment. Don't worry, he will be alright. But first diagnose him. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wishing good health to your father. Thanks.
