This phenomenon of deep irritation in the chest causing coughing occurs when changing the environment, being emotional - pressing... Currently, in addition to the above disease, I have mild and 7 severe spondylolisthesis, and gastrointestinal tract. chemistry is also sometimes turbulent. This phenomenon has happened since 8 years - after an illness, perhaps the flu (goes caught in the rain at night, did not have time to shower), that time did not take medicine and also gradually recovered - but the cough appeared. The doctor asked me what to do with a prolonged cough due to thoracic stimulation? Thank you doctor!
