Thumbs up Ruth and chronic cough

Ruth should get tested for all possibilities. Scans, xrays etc. are important. She should also consider allergies.
An allergist or immunologist can perform skin or blood tests to see if allergies are a possibility. Yes. We can get allergies as we age or encounter new things in our environment. Another possibility might be side effects from drugs. I found out I was allergic to some pre meds they were giving me during chemo after I had a chronic cough for 2 months.
