What Causes Hard Coughing?
My husband had a very bad cough....actually, think he might have had a bad chest infection, but refused to go to the doctor. At times,he coughed so hard, he had to hold on to his head.He is on the mend, but notices that his head hurts at times since this, especially if he coughs.....is it possible that he could have gave himself a slight concussion....its been two weeks since he developed this cough....

Any respiratory tract infection can cause intractable cough. Associated fever, sputum, expectoration suggest infection.
Baseline complete blood profile, chest X-ray, ecg needs to be done.
over the counter cough syrup can be used to obtain relief, however a consultation to chest expert is advisable.
may warrant use of antibiotics, which needs doctor prescription.
