PERSISTENT COUGH?

It’s been over a week, but you’re still coughing.

Reasons;

Your Cold/Flu Has Irritated Your Airways

Unfortunately, the effects of viruses or bacteria can last long after the actual infection is gone. A chronic cough can be the most predicable aftermath of a cold or other viral infection. While most cold symptoms may go away after a few days, your cough can hang around for weeks, even months, because viruses can cause your airways to become swollen and oversensitive.

You Have Asthma or Allergies

Allergies and asthma are common causes of prolonged coughing. A cold can even cause an asthma attack. In fact, some people learn they have asthma after suffering from a cold.

In addition, acid reflux and obstructive sleep apnea can also cause a chronic cough.

Notify a doctor if you experience the below acid reflux symptoms:

• Burning sensation

• Heartburn

• Ongoing cough

• Recurrent awakenings

• Sleepiness during the day
