Which Doctor Should I Consult For Cough?

A general practitioner or physician that is board-certified in either family medicine or internal medicine are great doctors to consult for any cough. Not only can they provide initial treatment for a cough, but if it is more serious, they can also provide a referral for you to see a specialist, such as a pulmonologist or gastroenterologist, depending on the underlying cause of the cough. That said, you should visit the emergency room if your cough is accompanied by any of the following symptoms:

• Chest pain
• Choking or vomiting
• Coughing up blood or bloody phlegm
• Difficulty breathing or swallowing
• High fever
• Shortness of breath

You should also visit the emergency room for a cough if you have a compromised immune system due to diseases or illnesses such as cancer, HIV/AIDS, or an existing infection with life-threatening implications.
