Answers:
Sorry your asthma's so severe!. Yes the sore throat is probably from a combination of all the coughing and the side effects of the meds!. If you don't stop coughing that much in a day or so, see the doc cuz you might need your meds adjusted - that has worked for me!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
It's probably a side effect from all the coughing!. You've probably just warn yourself raw!. If it persists of if you start getting phloem etc you may have gotten an infection!. Get some antibiotics from your doctor to clear that up!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
