Suggest Treatment For Constant Cough And Sore Throat
Question: I have a constant cough, mucus is clear, was not sick at all before coughing started. No fever. Did have a sore throat right before the coughing starting. Never smoked in my life. Age 68.
Brief Answer:
Allergy, asthma, do chest X-ray at first along with clinical examination by your doctor
Detailed Answer:
Hi and thanks for the query,
I understand this could be very disturbing. Do you have any family history of allergies, asthma or chronic bronchitis ? Any recent change of your residence or travel ?. Allergies or environmental changes could explain such coughs without fevers.
A clinical examination and a chest X ray could be of utmost importance. It is not rare at times with certain infections not to have fever. The could most likely should be of allergic origin. A clinical exam by your doctor and a chest X ray should be sufficient.
Thanks and kind regards as I wish you the best of health. Please, do feel free asking further questions in case of need.
