HI! I have problem with chronic dry cough. Please tell me what possible causes of cronic dry cough are. I have chronic cough over three months. I don’t smoke, but my husband smoke in house. Is cigarette smoke cause of my cough?
Hi! Some people start coughing when they breathe very dry, heated air. This can be caused by environmental irritation or allergies. Chronic dry coughs are usually caused by irritation from cigarette smoke, environmental irritants, allergies, postnasal drip, or asthma. Several chronic lung diseases also cause a dry, hacking cough. Some people cough out of habit for no clear reason. A doctor can evaluate your symptoms and recommend appropriate treatment. See your doctor!
