Hi,

so I have a dry tickle cough that comes on once every 2 to 3 hours, I NEVER cough during the night when I’m sleeping. Sometimes I need water for it to stop, I’m just wondering as it comes on every 2-3 hours would this still be classed as a cough to be worried about?

AIBU in thinking I have a chronic cough

Yes, please go to the doctor. It’s very likely nothing, I know so many people with a chronic cough and it’s not been anything sinister. Could be allergies, could be GERD. Just go to the doctor and get checked xx

OP you've been posting about this cough for months. Longer maybe. Have you not been to the doctor yet?

long story short I’ve been once but anxious to go back

judgement about my decision to not go to the drs aside, does coughing every 2-3 hours class me as having an ongoing dry cough?

It’s something I’ve had for ages now
