Constant cough

Are you taking an ACE inhibitor? After several years of taking one I developed a continuous cough, changing to an ARB cured the problem.

I also had a constant cough which I thought was due to the flu but that didn't go away for weeks after. I just got diagnosed with type 2 a month ago and I was about to go back to the doctor's about this cough but it seems to have disappeared. I am getting my blood sugar under control by using a low-carb diet.
 
There is no way of knowing what these things are, you must make an appointment and see your GP to get the answer.

I had a cough like the one you describe and left it and it didnt work out well for me as I later suffered 3 bouts of respiratory failure and ended up in intensive care. I was finally diagnosed with broncheictasis and mild COPD .

So please go and see your GP and get it checked out, I wish I had done it sooner, then I could have avoided most of the problems I had.
 
have one and its lasted for 2 months now, started mild and now cough about 10x a day, I think it's just the air quality in the home, and upon research believe it might just be walking pneumonia though haven't got an official diagnosis from the doctor who just dismisses it with "you're probably fine just get some fresh air", with other symptoms such as chest pain/tightness, joint pain. but not taking enough vitamins everyday is probably what causes it, just whether i can be bothered with it really
