Can Cat Hair Cause Cough?
We had a sick kitten with ringworm. After I took it to the vet I have noticed a that I have a cough and wondered if the spores from the hair of the cat could have gotten in my throat? I do have spots of ringworm on my arm that I am treating for ringworm but worried about the cough.

Hello Welcome to Health Care Magic.
yes, it is possible that you have got infected from cat and it is also possible that your cough is also related with the same.
You may need xray chest. consult your physician because if it is fungal infection than oral antibiotics will not help.
Hope this information helps you.
Best wishes.
