I have been wondering, is there a way that my wife can stop coughing? I mean I have taken her to her doctor a few times and it gets better but as soon as she s out of the syrup he prescribes for her ,it comes back again. She has had this cough since she was a child. So with all these tegnology we have now. isn t there something that would her get rid of it? Thank you Doctor in advance. Yours in christ Jesus, Paul

Pulmonologist,  's  Response
Thanks for your question on HCM.
In my opinion you should consult pulmonologist as chronic recurrent cough needs evaluation. Causes for chronic cough are
1. Infection like TB or pneumonia
2. Asthma
3. Bronchitis.
So get done chest x ray first to rule out infection.
PFT (Pulmonary Function Test) to rule out asthma and bronchitis.
She may need Inhaled therapy and antihistamines. So better to consult pulmonologist and diagnose her first.
