He is 82 yrs old, a retired school teacher, prostate surgery 20 years ago and is fairly good health. he is also borderline diabetic no meds for diabetisat this time
Hello, Welcome to hcm, As your husband has history of asthma, he is likely to get repeated exacerbations. Get blood eosinophil count and chest xray to rule out any allergy cause for persistent cough.
Thank you
