Is Persistent Light Cough A Cause For Concern?
cmy brother has a cough and has had it for a couple of years. he remodels homes and his wife was diagnosed as a carrier of TB. His cough is lite, and doesn t sound like he has a cold, but he ll always need to cough a little here and there while talking. He doesn t go to the doctor but maybe once every 5 years. Any ideas where I can look further into this?
