I get dry cough for prolonged times during winter, and I don’t even exercise outside. Just from normal walking and outdoor activities.
I even have it now. It started a month ago. I don’t know what this is exactly. It’s not too bad, just some dry coughing every few hours. I feel almost constant low-grade burning in my chest. I use humidifier at home, but it doesn’t seem to help. My doctor has no idea what causes it.
I never happens in warm weather. Only winter. So it has to have something to do with that.
- rubicon33 6y agoDo you breath predominantly through your mouth, or through your nose? If the former, this could be a factor in why your lungs are chronically bracioconstricted. The nose has both a filtering and humidifying effect on the air. I really suggest that anyone suffering from cough or sore throat take some time to watch this: https://youtu.be/r9brGbPGJeY https://youtu.be/r9brGbPGJeY
- cadence- 6y agoI actually don’t know. I don’t pay enough attention. My nose tends to get stuffy in cold temperatures, so it’s entirely possible that I automatically switch to breathing through mouth for that reason. I will try to pay more attention to that.

- qbasic_forever 6y agoI'd measure the humidity (log and track it over a few days to see trends) and check if your humidifier is enough to keep it up at a comfortable level.
- dennis_jeeves 6y agoIn a city the air can be worse or better depending on the season. I too had dry cough in winter in a city where smog would form during winter because the wind did not blow during that time of the year. When I moved to another city the dry-cough disappeared even though it was winter, in this city the wind was not stagnant in the winter, presumably carrying away polluted air form automobiles.
