Hi my Mum is suffering from coughing fits, with wheezing and crackling sounds in the upper chest. She smoked for many years. Lately she told me that a few months ago her back felt as cold as ice, this lasted for one day and then it went away. Soon after this a cough came which has been resistant to go.
The most common causes for persistent cough are: (1) post nasal drip (2)asthma (3) GERD
Since she has a history of prolonged smoking however, it may be related to this.
She may need have an x ray of the chest. If it is not linked to the smoking then treatment of the post nasal drip may be started since this is the most common.
I hope this helps
