Maybe you already have bronchitis or asthma. Perhaps you need basic therapy, like montelukast. Or some kind of inhaler

Tatyana Korepanova I just don't know... I made another appointment with the therapist, we'll see what she says. I had my lungs checked a few years ago, and everything was great. I don't smoke. But I was thinking about taking some kind of pills for now.

I've had a chronic cough since childhood, it seems like laryngitis was left untreated, and now I'm constantly wheezing and often coughing up phlegm. Only oil-based solutions help, I drip sea buckthorn oil into my nose.

Viktoriya I've had it for 7+ years, but sometimes it stops. Especially if I'm in another city. It didn't happen in the south. Maybe it's the wrong season or psychosomatic. People look at me like I have tuberculosis, and then I start coughing even more. Do you just drip it and it helps? Does it help for long?

There has to be a reason for the cough. Then the right therapy can be chosen. It could be an allergic cough, or a psychogenic cough. Look for a good doctor based on recommendations and reviews, you might need to see a few, rather than the general practitioner at your local clinic. You rarely find a good specialist there.

Viktoriya It helps for about half a year. Yes, I drip it with a pipette so it goes into the mouth, three times a day. It all passes during the warm season, but it's constant during the cold season.

Did they check your lungs? Is there no fluid there? It could be nerves.

Shashkova Anna Nervousness happens, but it feels like it's not there right now. I had my lungs checked, something about my breathing (I totally forget how now)

Shashkova Anna My grandmother had a terrible cough. I tried everything to help her. She had fluid in her lungs. I took her for a CT scan.

Maybe you have a hobby that makes you cough like this?

Dergunova Lesya What do they use to check that? A therapist can probably tell me something useful now. I recently went because my back was hurting; I guess carrying a half-empty backpack even for a little while makes it hurt. They prescribed pills, I took them and it got better, although it turned out to be scoliosis (which I already had). Maybe now they'll solve the cough problem

Dergunova Lesya Clinical examination, spirometry
with bronchodilation test
once a year.
Complete blood count and chest X-ray.
Maybe you don't have it, but it's worth checking and ruling it out

Get a chest X-ray just in case.
