Cough, Have Asthma. Using Symbicort. What Is Wrong?
Hi doctor. My name is Melissa, and for about 4 and a half weeks now i have been dealing with (literally) a cough that comes in episodes and then subsides for a while and then comes back. I have asthma and I haven't been using my symbicort the way I should and I do use a lot of different cleaning products around my home. So I am not sure if it is my asthma or if it is something else.

hello dear
thanks for your query at HCM
predominent symptom as cough without fever and recurrent mostly probably related to asthma, you have history of asthma also.
in asthma cough will be dry , more in evening, after allergic exposure, wheeze up on examination.
try to avoid allergen , pollution , drink plenty of water.
even then cough not decreasing get yourself examined by doctor and you can start symbicort after that
