Hi,
How are you? What other symptoms are present? Cough with breathlessness may be attributed to a variety of issues such as infection, allergy related, reflux and other pulmonary conditions. Viral infections may resolve after a few days of symptomatic management and rest. However if it persists, it is best that you have this checked by your doctor for proper evaluation. Additional diagnostic tests such as imaging studies may also be indicated. Take care and do keep us posted.
