Cardiologist, Dr. Ilir Sharka's Response

Hello,

There is no reason to panic about your brain as nothing serious is going to happen from cough.

Coming to this point, I would recommend consulting with your attending physician for a physical exam and performing a chest X ray study, inflammation tests (complete blood count, PCR, ESR) and pulmonary function tests. You may need to take antibiotics or anti-allergy drugs.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr. Ilir Sharka
