i have had mild asthma on and off from a young age. hasnt bothered me for a couple of years or so but ive had this chesty sounding cough for at least two weeks. its not that bad its just hanging around. if its asthma my cough is not anywhere near as bad as it has been before. i haven't noticed myself wheezing but the cough will wake me up at night? should i get checked out by my doctor? i just hate going if its not necessary.
