I have a dry cough that I had for two weeks now...?

Question

I already went to the doctors last week and they couldn't find anything wrong with my lungs. They gave me an inhaler to help. They think its related to asthma. I have no idea why I'm coughing so much. Also I have an itchy throat that makes me cough. Is it allergies or something I should be worried about? Thanks.

Answer 2

Allergies can give you a runny stuffy nose which can drip down the back of your throat and make you throat tickle or get sore, and that makes you cough.  It has been a very bad year for allergies.  Try some over the counter (OTC) medicine from the drug store for allergy relief and see if it helps.  Has anyone told you befor this that you have asthma?
