Does asthma cause coughing?
I've had a persistent cough for weeks, especially at night, and it sometimes feels like my chest is tight. My mother thinks it could be asthma. Does asthma commonly cause coughing, or could it be something else?

Yes, coughing is one of the main symptoms, especially at night. I went to a specialist hospital last month for this, and they adjusted my inhaler. You should definitely ask your doctor to evaluate your cough.

Yes, coughing is very common with asthma, especially dry coughing. Keep some warm water near your bed, it helps soothe the throat at night.

Please don't ignore a persistent cough. I thought mine was just a normal dust allergy, but it escalated into a severe asthma flare-up that required hospitalization. Go see a pulmonologist before it gets worse.

In my years of dealing with asthma, a cough is always my first warning sign that the weather is changing. Don't be scared, it is just your airways reacting. Regular warm steam always helps.
