Patient: What can I take for cough with wheezing no hx of asthma already taken Delsym does not seem to work cough drops that dont work and cold multi symptoms tabs that dont work had cough about 5 days with no congestion, had painful breathing when first symptoms started like ice going the wrong way for about 3 hours until I took 2 advil. then cough started and cannot seem to aleviate the cough. What else can I take? Doctor: Hello,Welcome to HCM,Your symptoms looks like you have asthma which is mild now. Asthma could be due to many reasons. You have dust allergy or seasonal allergy which requires complete work up and also get a lung function test to confirm asthma. You may have to do allergy test to know if your allergic to something.If you have allergy then you can start immunotherapy before your asthma symptom increases. I would suggest you to consult both pulmonologist and immunologist for asthma and allergy testing.  Thank you.
