INTRODUCTION

Hello my fellow steemians. I want to belief that you are all doing well. I want to participate in this contest which is all about cough. It is important to treat your self and take good care of yourself especially in issues like this. I will answer some questions.

Is it Normal to have cough more than one month?

No, it's not normal to have a cough which lasts more than one month. A type of cough which lasts longer than 4-6 weeks could be a sign of a bad condition and needs medical attention.

Coughs are normally caused by viral or bacterial infections, allergies, or environmental pollutants, and they usually gone on their own within 1-3 weeks. If a cough persists or worsens more than that time it may mean a more serious bad condition, such as:

  • Asthma, Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), Lung cancer, Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), Chronic bronchitis, Sinusitis, Tuberculosis

If you have a cough that has lasted more than a month, it's important to consult a healthcare professional to know the cause and get good and appropriate treatment. They may perform different tests, such as chest X-rays, CT scans, or pulmonary function tests, to help know the underlying cause of your cough.

What can be possibilities of getting different health complexities if cough is untreatable after medications of one month?
