Can I consult with a Laso MD doctor regarding my cough?
Absolutely, yes. Laso MD doctors are available to discuss your current condition, duration of your cough, and any accompanying symptoms you may be experiencing. If over-the-counter cough treatments prove ineffective, the doctor may recommend a physical examination to narrow down the underlying cause of your cough.

In some cases, additional testing may be suggested to provide a clear diagnosis for your cough.

Understanding a Cough
A cough is your body’s natural response to throat or airway irritation, serving to clear irritants and secretions from the lungs. Occasional coughs are normal and healthy. However, persistent coughs lasting more than two weeks, severe coughs, or those accompanied by bloody or discolored mucus may indicate an underlying condition.

Associated Symptoms of a Cough
Coughs are often symptoms of other conditions and may be accompanied by sinus congestion, sore throat, runny nose, headache, chest soreness, and other symptoms. Chronic coughs, lasting eight weeks or longer in adults or four weeks in children, may signify an underlying issue.

Causes of a Cough
Coughs can be signs or symptoms of various underlying conditions, including infections (colds and flus), asthma, GERD, allergies, and more. Identifying the specific cause is essential for effective treatment.

Diagnosis and Treatment of a Cough
Laso MD doctors can offer a diagnosis through discussion, physical examination, and, if necessary, additional testing. Self-care remedies such as honey, cough drops, fluid intake, humidifiers, and avoiding irritants can help alleviate symptoms. Laso MD physicians can recommend appropriate treatments, including prescription cough medications, if needed.

When to See a Doctor for a Cough
While trying self-care remedies for new or mild coughs is advisable, persistent, severe, or worsening coughs should prompt consultation with a doctor. Laso MD doctors can recommend testing for a clear diagnosis and prescribe appropriate medications to reduce symptoms.
