What Causes Cough And Itching On Neck?

at night when I get ready for bed I begin to cough uncontrolledly and my neck and chin get really itchy. this only happens at night and I don t know what to do about it or what it means. I read that it could be signs of asthma but I ve never been diagnosed with it. But I do spend a total of 9 hours or more 5 days a week moving and running around.

Pulmonologist,  's  Response
Hello dear, thanks for your question on HCM.
In my opinion you are having allergic bronchitis.
Coughing and itching are characteristics for allergic disease (process).
Since you are having symptoms mostly at night, you may be allergic to your night clothes or bed sheet or pillow covers etc. And these act as allergen and cause symptoms.
So better to consult pulmonologist and get done PFT ( Pulmonary Function Test ) to diagnose bronchitis.
Change your bed sheet, pillow cover and night clothes. Start using new cotton ones.
Also take antihistamine drug. You will mostly be alright by these changes.
