Hello

Welcome in H.C.M.

I have gone through your query regarding persistent cough and tightness in upper throat, all these develop after intubation for 4 days to face respiratory emergency created by asthma and pneumonia.

Here I would like to say that after intubation for respiratory assistance this is a common complication and since you are already having asthma so this situation is most likely.

I would like to suggest you for handling this situation need not to worry you please contineu your treatment and only add steroid and steam inhalation for few days.

Regards.
