I cant remember when it started but its really getting quite annoying. I am sure it started before i got the dog. Sometimes its a dry cough other times it isn't. but i cough every single day, i do have allergies but i am taking claritin and flonase for that. But its been prob 2 months or longer now with this coughing, i pretty much cough daily but not like constantly but its pretty annoying and i don't know if its my allergies causing it or smoking, ive been smoking for only about 5 years now and never had problems before. I had a chest infection when i was 17 weeks pregnant with my son in 2004 though but they gave me albuterol because i was wheezing and my oxygen level was slightly low. i couldn't get a steroid since i was pregnant. I hate going to the dr because they can only do so much at the clinic here , everything else has to be done off base and im not that familiar with the area i live in to get to the other hospitals. Any one have any ideas as to what could cause it?
