What is Asthmatic Cough?
Asthmatic cough is a dry, non-productive cough that does not expel sputum out of the respiratory tract. This cough can be a symptom of regular asthma, or the only symptom of a different type of asthma called cough-variant asthma. In cough-variant asthma, there are no other symptoms like wheezing shortness of breath. Cough-variant asthma is lumped in with other types of chronic cough, which is a cough that lasts more than six to eight weeks. The coughing may increase after exercise, during sleep or when exposed to allergy-causing or asthma inducing triggers. Cough-variant asthma and its main symptom, asthmatic cough, are treated with the same medications and methods as regular asthma. This means that natural treatments used to treat asthma as a whole will help heal the asthmatic cough of cough-variant asthma. Herbs to Help Cough-Variant Asthma Most herbal remedies only have received some scientific study and have not been approved by the FDA. Consult a physician before supplementing you
