Continuous coughing
Hello Doctor,
My mother has been facing some coughing problems from last one year, it appears seasonally.. but from last 2-3 months it's been there. She has taken medicine for a long time after prescription of a general physician, and now he said that it's a pet allergy. Is there any way to make sure that if it's from pet or anything else?
