Why is he coughing all the time?

Q: My older brother is 22 years old and coughs ALL THE TIME!!! Everyone thinks its a cold and that he’s just sick…but he has been coughing like this since he graduated in 2005 and it has gotten worse! My mother hasn’t noticed it like I have and all she does is give him cough medicine. He hasnt seen a doctor yet because of money, but if anyone knows if this could be a sign of something I would appreciate it if I had at least some idea of what’s wrong with him.I know that he was supposed to have his tonsils taken out when he was younger but it never happened. COuld that be an issue? He doesn’t get sick often and doesn’t have any health conditions whatsoever. Please some one help???

A: If your brother doesn’t seem sick other than the cough, he could have what’s called cough variant asthma. It’s a type of asthma that doesn’t present itself in wheezing like regular asthma, but instead the main symptoms is a dry, non-productive, nagging cough. Cough medicine isn’t going to help at all, because cough variant asthma is caused by bronchiospasms (spasms in the bronchial tubes in the lungs) like regular asthma, and cough medicine doesn’t address that. Without seeing a doctor (which he really needs to do, but I understand if you can’t afford it, you can’t afford it) he could try identifying the source of his asthma and eliminating it. For example, if his asthmatic symptoms are caused by allergies, he can try taking an over the counter antihistamine like Claritin or Zyrtec and see if that helps.If the antihistamine doesn’t help, he really should see some kind of health care professional, because asthma can be serious and become life-threatening if not treated. Is there a low-cost clinic he can be seen at? Or a community center that does health care screenings? The sooner he gets the cough looked at the better, so look into low-cost options in your area for him.Good luck!

A: First I would like to apologize for a late answer. Regarding your question, you need to be professional and mature when you are around her. Do not just ignore her completely, that will make you look bad. But, just don’t make it a point to go talk to her or be around her. When the two of you were at church, she was acting immature there. I hope this helped.
