Hi I'm looking for some advice. I'm worried about my Dads persistent cough and he won't speak to his GP. Dad is coughing all the time, after sentences, when he gets up from the sofa or chair. He coughs a lot in the morning when he gets up. I know it sounds odd but it's almost like a habit but at night he's bringing up mucus. He's been smoking cigars for years. He said he's spoken to the nurse at the surgery but she said it sounded common. How can I get him to see his GP without badgering him all the time?
