About that persistent cough, Bosda. Have you checked your meds? I had a persistent cough a few years ago … just couldn’t stop. Eventually I checked the side effects of my meds and sure enough one of them had coughing as a major side effect. I switched meds and coughed no more. Might work, might not, but worth a try if you haven’t already.
