Cough-Variant Asthma

Cough-variant asthma is a type of asthma where the main symptom is a persistent, dry cough, rather than the usual wheezing or difficulty breathing. This cough may worsen at night, with exercise, or in response to allergens like dust or pollen. While you might not feel breathless, the airways are still inflamed and sensitive. Managing cough-variant asthma often involves using asthma medications to reduce inflammation and control the cough. Regular check-ups with a doctor can help monitor and adjust treatment as necessary to keep symptoms in check.
