What Causes Severe Cough Upon Physical Activity?
I have had a cough that is non productive for about 3 months. My physician says I need to use benedryl at night and a nasal steroid during the day. The problem is I am not getting better. I am fine at night. It starts when I do physical activity outside

Hello,
As per my surgical experience, the coughing starts in physical activity outside the home and hence particular susceptibility to atmospheric pollen or dust must be evaluated with immunoglobulin antibodies assay so that best therapy can be initiated rather than empirical therapy.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
