I have been having mild coughing for 2 months now. Seen 6 docs in total and have an x-ray scan. The results from the scan says that I have bronchitis but the last doc says I may have asthmatic cough and actually I do have a history of asthma. However I have no difficulty in breathing whatsoever besides just coughing. Have been taking different types of cough mixture, antibotics and meds but they prove minimal effect on me. I don't cough when I sleep or lie down. This is really bordering me. I don't know what happen to me.

Very Well Could Be Asthma

I am no expert, we just took a class to learn more about my son's asthma and mine. Turns out that a cough is a very common symptom and may very well be the only symptom. It sounds like you are doing nothing to control the asthma, talk with your doctor about different medications that you can use to help control the inflamation in the lungs. It cam be as simple as a single pill a day. My son is on 3 medications, and it looks like we finally have it under control, som what.

I had a friend who has the same problem with you. She use something called saltpipe and it helps to relief. It is absolute natural. Have you heard about it?
