My friend has been coughing (dry cough) for few months.?
My friend has dry cough which recurs on n off. The current one started from last year ( at least few months). He bought all kind of cough medicine n consult GP and the cough never seem to go away. He went for X-Ray but doc said it was clear. I am wondering if he has some health issue. Though he always go running I assume it will help the lungs. Well, no improvement at all. He does NOT smoke at all. Any advice?

No need to pânic; just ask him to see a doc with immediate effect. A proper diagnosis will give the cause though you have waited too long which i hope and pray won't complicate matters.

Does he take blood pressure medicine? If so this could be the cause of that dry cough.
Otherwise, maybe it's time for him to see an Ear Nose & Throat specialist for help

Maybe he has allergies or maybe he has asthma. I would think that a visit to a specialist would be in order.... Regarding asthma--some allergies can cause the symptoms. When I drink milk I bet a bad cough. It's my asthma. My GP couldn't hear anything in my lungs, but he had the good sense to send me to a pulmonologist who listened to my cough and said, "Yeah, that's asthma."
