A lingering cough can be more than just a nuisance. It may signal an infection or inflammation in the airways, such as bronchitis or pneumonia, that benefits from prompt evaluation and relief.

Common symptoms include:

• Persistent or worsening cough lasting more than a week
• Chest congestion or mucus production
• Wheezing or shortness of breath
• Sore throat or chest discomfort from coughing
• Fatigue or mild fever

How we can help:

Our providers listen to your lungs, assess oxygen levels, and may order chest X-rays or rapid tests to rule out pneumonia, flu, or COVID-19. Treatment may include inhalers, cough suppressants, or antibiotics when appropriate. We focus on easing symptoms, speeding recovery, and preventing complications.
