What to do for chronic cough that has not improved in 1.5 years?
A cough lasting 1.5 years is considered chronic and needs medical evaluation. You should see a doctor or a pulmonologist to check for underlying causes like asthma, allergies, acid reflux, chronic infections, or even lung issues. Avoid smoking and irritants, stay hydrated, and note any other symptoms like fever, weight loss, or shortness of breath to share with your doctor. Treating the underlying cause, not just the cough, is key.
