Having Cough. Not Cured By Medicine. Started Hair Fall, Body Pain And Red Spots On Palms. What Is This?
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
A persistent cough for weeks indicates an infection. Such persistent infections are often associated with generalized symptoms like hair fall, body aches and mild rashes.
There are various reason for cough for long time. Some of the common ones are:
1. Tuberculosis-most common.
2. Allergic bronchitis.
3. Asthma or related problem.
4. Acid peptic disease.
Kindly get yourself examined by a chest Physician so that he/she may examine you and run a battery of tests if necessary like,
1.) Chest X-ray.
2.) Lung Function Tests.
3.) Sputum Culture.
4.) Blood Work
The treatment will then depend on the cause.
I hope this answers your query.
In case you have additional questions or doubts, you can forward them to me, and I shall be glad to help you out.
Please accept my answer in case you do not have further queries.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
Dr. Praveen Tayal.
