Persistent wet cough. Recurent througout the day
Female | 22
A persistent wet cough that is recurrent throughout the day may indicate an underlying respiratory issue. You need to consult a professional for evaluation and appropriate treatment.

My boyfriend (age 27) has had this all day every day hacking/throat clearing cough with mucus since January... I've been begging him since to get it checked. He waited 4 months until April & finally went. Well, the chest x-ray came back clear. But then why is he still coughing?? I'm exhausted of this, not knowing what it is, but hearing it all day every day, anxious beyond belief while he claims he's "fine" when it's not normal.
Male | 27
Even though his chest Xray came back clear, ruling out obvious lung abnormalities or infections. STill other causes like allergies, postnasal drip, GERD, asthma, or chronic bronchitis could still be responsible. Encourage him to follow up with a medical professional for further evaluation and testing to identify the underlying cause of his symptoms. Taking his cough seriously and seeking medical attention is important for appropriate treatment and relief.

Peakflow best is 630 and now 620 but sometimes I struggle to get it up to 570 that mean what ? Or as long as within normal range im fine ?
Male | 29
A reading of 620 close to your personal best of 630, is within the normal range for you. Fluctuations can be normal due to various factors. Consult a pulmonology doctor if you have further concerns.
