Dear Diary: My Father Has A Cough Problem And It Is A Long-Standing Problem That He Has

My father had been coughing for as long as I can remember and in fact it has been the issue that he didn't get the last job that he tried to enter about fifteen years ago when he failed to pass the medical exam because of his lungs. I am just surprised that my father's health does not get worse all these years that he had been coughing.

My father always coughs while he was eating and I suspect that when he uses fish sauce to dip his food into it before he places it in his mouth it then irritates his throat and also gives him an allergy. So whenever he eats he coughs and he also gets a cough probably when he talks and hangs around with people that smokes when waiting for my dialysis to end when we go to the center and it is a thing that am concerned about my father.

My father also does welding and all that light equipment jobs for things that he works upon like for fixing old our vehicle and other stuffs that sometimes annoys me because it isn't productive anymore as the smoke just makes him ill. So his cough just doesn't end and is persistent. We have done a lot of things for his respiratory problem and he even had a chest x-ray for that matter along with some medicines but still after 15 years he really have broken a record of having a persistent cough.

Nothing we can do now here but to ask for a prayer for my father's long-standing cough. He is is using a medicine for it and I just hope that it will subside and be gone for good son and not come back. He i just hard-headed when he does jobs that makes him ill like welding and grinding that produces noxious smoke which doesn't even make money.
