Persistent Cough Evaluation
Three weeks of coughing is not 'just a cold.' We listen to your lungs, check oxygen levels, evaluate for bronchitis, walking pneumonia, post-viral cough, asthma, and reflux — and treat accordingly, including in-clinic breathing treatments.

Questions patients ask about Persistent Cough Evaluation
Why won't my cough go away?
A cough lasting over 3 weeks deserves evaluation — post-viral airway irritation, walking pneumonia, asthma, reflux, and post-nasal drip are the usual suspects.
How long does a sinus infection last?
Viral sinusitis improves in 7–10 days. Symptoms lasting beyond 10 days, or improving then worsening again, suggest bacterial infection that may need antibiotics.
What does an ear infection feel like in adults?
Ear pressure or pain, muffled hearing, sometimes fluid drainage — adult ear infections are less common than in kids and worth evaluating, since persistent ones can signal other issues.
Can dehydration cause headaches?
Yes — dehydration is one of the most common headache triggers, and rehydration often resolves it within 1–3 hours.
