Symptom #4: Coughing

As uncomfortable as coughing can be, it usually serves a very good purpose. The action helps to quickly expel air and any unwanted contaminants from the lungs and passageways. This helps ensure pathogens are removed and that we are able to breathe with ease.

In the case of valley fever infection, the lungs can become inflamed, causing the body to cough as a reflex. While a cough is usually not something to be too concerned about, medical advice should be sought in extreme and/or persistent cases.
