10 Symptoms of Sjogren's Syndrome
Symptom #8: Dry Cough
This is another symptom that’s certainly not exclusive to Sjogren’s symptom, and another reason that the problem can be difficult to diagnose. If you go to the doctor complaining of a dry cough, a fever, and joint pain, they probably won’t jump to tell you that you have Sjogren’s.
The cough tends to get worse in windy weather or in areas where air is difficult to breathe. Even subtle changes to air temperature and pressure may spur coughing fits, such as entering a room with a fan.
