HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
Persistent coughing can cause chest or abdominal discomfort.
If the coughing is persisting despite the use of your inhalors, it is possible that you need to see your doctor because you may need to be nebulised.
This would be more effective than the use of your inhalors, sometimes these are not enough to resolve acute asthmatic event.
You should consider visiting your doctor as soon as possible for an evaluation.
I hope this helps
