It is normal to have a cough, but having a cough for more than a month is what is not normal as having a cough for more than one month simply means there is something wrong with my health or that of the person who is coughing.

Cough is a sign of not feeling well, which prolongs (chronic) coughing means the person who is coughing should see a doctor for treatment of his or her health. Prolong (chronic) cough is a cough that lasts for more than 2 months in adults whereas for children it lasts for more than 1 month if it persists one should see a doctor.


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

The truth Is if a cough persists (continue) for more than a month despite treatment, it means it is an indication of an underlying health condition that requires further investigation and treatment of the person who is coughing.

Some of the possibility of getting complexities if the cough is intractable after medications of one month are:

  • Chronic respiratory conditions
  • Infection
  • Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease
  • Heart condition
  • Allergies or post-nasal effects
  • Medication side effects
  • Psychogenic Cough

To this, if a cough persists despite receiving treatment, it is good for the person to consult a doctor or any healthcare provider for further evaluation of his or her health. Additional tests like chest X-rays, CT scans, and spirometry can be done for the person who may be referred to a specialist.


Have you ever suffered from a prolonged cough?

Yes, I have suffered from a prolonged cough, but it was when I was still small that I suffered from a prolonged cough which I was treated with immediate effect. My mom took me to the hospital and explained to the doctor how I was feeling and how I had been coughing for a long which the doctor referred me to a specialist hospital where I was treated.


I am inviting my friends; @dave-hanny, @woka-happiness, and @vickyson to also join me.
