After colds I get a dry hacking cough that lasts for months, have been to many drs, including pulmonary drs, no one has been able to help. Ive had it when I was in the Navy at proper wgt and now overwgt, it happens every year usually in the fall but often starts in the summer as i have it now, It continues until I give a loud cough sounding like Im going to vomit. My back and lungs burn badly when this happens.
Hi thanks for contacting Chat Doctor... Here you have long term Chat Doctor. . First rule out chronic gastritis or acidity or acid reflux then it can lead irritation cough... Avoid smoking as it can lead cough... Your respiratory examination must be done for auscultation. Along with it chest x-ray and pulmonary function test done for further work up... It can reveal asthma or chronic bronchitis like cause which treated accordingly. If cough troublesome then dextromethorphan can give. Take care
