Did the inhaler help your cough on the previous occasion? Is your cough worst at night? Did you have asthma or eczema as a child? Do any of your children have asthma or eczema? Did anyone in the house have a recent viral upper respiratory syndrome? How old are you?
The most common thing I see doing this is cough variant asthma and it is pretty easy to treat. Need to make sure nothing is triggering it. BTW, I am a pulmonologist.

Haven't been prescribed an inhaler. At this point, I believe an inhaler would be beneficial for me.

Is your cough worst at night?
Varies. Last night, yes. Previous night, no. Can have violent coughing attacks through the day as well.

No.

No.

Both my children had a cough, but only after I had mine. Can't say for sure they caught it from me. There's has since gone away. Mine hasn't.

39. Don't smoke, don't hang around people that smoke.
appreciate your help. Do you have a practice in Baton Rouge? I'm flying in today and can meet you tomorrow or possibly late this afternoon. Give a fellow OT'er a schedule break to fit me in.
