If your primary care provider cannot help your chronic cough, you might need to see a lung specialist.[lung.org]
That makes it hard for you to cough up and clear out mucus. Older women are most at risk for this type. A more severe form is called cavitary NTM lung disease. In addition to scars, cavities or pits also form in your lungs.[webmd.com]
