Thanks for your query. I appreciate your concern for the symptoms. If I were your treating physician, I would do the followings:>look for asthma status. Are you currently on any medications? Is your asthma under good control ? Look for allergic conditions.> Since you are coughing for almost 3 weeks, I may advise a Laboratory investigation: Sputum for AFB suspecting Pulmonary tuberculosis after details history taking like history of fever, weight loss etc.> I would advise few blood tests and a chest x rays my opinion is : consult with a respiratory medicine specialist or Pulmonologist.Don't worry. Everything will be alright. Take care.
