There are so many causes of cough, but it is best for him to go see a doctor. It could be lung cancer, but it could also be bronchitis, asthma, GERD, PNDS, etc. Coughing sucks. I have been since April 4th and am still trying to figure out the cause. I have been to the doctors four times in the past four weeks. Hopefully, your coworker can get to the bottom of this more quickly than me.

you opt to pass back to an similar well being practitioner and tell him that the antibiotics did not get the interest finished. There are inhalers now with antibiotics in them, that you inhale once you start up wheezing. and also you opt to ascertain why you're having a effective cough, a cough that produces yellow mucus. i'm shocked the well being practitioner did not make a keep on with up appointment for you. you opt to get this dealt with, ASAP

It doesn't sound good. Does he have allergies? It is allergy season, and it could be that the smoking is aggrivating these. I would tell him that you are worried about his health and that he should go to a doctor.
