Question : been on champix 14 days, not smoking. Have a constant dry cough. Is this dangerous?
Brief Answer:
May require antibiotics if there is evidence of infection.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Welcome and thanks for your query.
I understand your concern.
It is likely to be a bronchitis.
Do you have any fever or do you feel breathless?
If so it would be good to see a doctor and have your blood tested and have a chest xray to check whether you have an infection requiring antibiotics.
Take care
