Answers:
A dry cough that persists or is periodic is a clear indicator that there is something going on in your lungs that could normally be classified as either athsma (although there are other less common causes)!. There is not always weezing with athsma!. I strongly recommend visiting a Pulmonologist!. Family doctors MAY recognize your condition as athsma, but will tend to under- or over-medicate!. Athsma is serious and should be addressed!. A good quality Pulmonologist administer the proper tests will prepare a plan for escalating your medications when symptoms are worse or if you get a cold or flu!.
Controlled athsma is nothing to fear!. With proper care and attention, most athsmatics live with little or no symptoms when the condition is well managed!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
