The primary symptom of cough variant asthma is a persistent dry cough which does not produce any phlegm or mucus. To be persistent, the cough must last for longer than six weeks. Attacks may occur during the day or during the night. Attacks are most commonly triggered by exercise, allergens or other common triggers for asthma. Often, sufferers with this type of asthma show none of the classic asthma symptoms that include wheezing or difficulty breathing.CauseCough variant asthma sufferers have a more sensitive cough reflex. However, the cause for these or other asthma symptoms remains unknown.Cough variant asthma often develops after triggers like prolonged exposure to cold air, allergens or an upper respiratory infection.Certain prescribed drugs like beta-blockers may bring on cough variant asthma symptoms. Certain over-the-counter drugs like aspirin may also trigger symptoms.DiagnosisCough variant asthma is difficult to diagnose as sufferers do not present normal asthma symptoms.

With proper management and education, cough variant asthma is a manageable disease.
