Caughing
Question:
is this the only symptom? when does it happen (early in the morning when you wake or at night), does it make you short of breath? what brings it on? what helps it go away? are you a smoker?

Maybe, but maybe not. Have you seen a doctor about it? "Being responsible sometimes means pissing people off." General Colin Powell

It could be cough variant asthma or could be something else. If your doctor thinks you might have asthma, he might prescribe a trial dose of salbutamol [albuterol, Ventolin] inhaler to see if it helps. If it helps, it tends to support an asthma diagnosis. Sometimes postnasal drip from sinusitis can cause coughing. Or gastroesophageal reflux can also cause asthma symptoms. Ellis

I suggest speaking with your health care provider. It could be cough variant asthma but it is best to speak with your doctor regarding your symptoms. Good luck in finding the answer.
