I consulted a doctor, gave me antitussive, it didn't work. I took mucolytic formula, no effect also. Tried to rest for 3 days before going to work. Tried water therapy. I still cough. If it's asthma, I can't seem to point out what's triggering it. I put towel on my back when I perspire, I lower down the AC before I sleep, house is relatively clean, so there should be no dust.

UHHH

Try drinking lots of water and breathing through your nose. And just eat healtheir in general

Could be stressed related. The doctor won't tell you that.

The symptoms of asthma can vary among people. Usually there is scratchy throat, or tightness in the chest, followed by a cough, wheezing, or shortness of breath.An asthma attack occurs when the airways become inflamed in response to a trigger, such as dust, mold, pets, exercise, or cold weather.I would get another doctor.

just curious......

The doctor needs to send you to a lung specialist and he will do some other testings to find out what's really going on.
