I've been dealing with these dry coughs for a while now, and they just won't go away. They're not super intense, but they're definitely annoying. I don't have any other issues, just this pesky cough. I kinda hoped it would disappear on its own, but it doesn't seem to be happening. What do you think might be going on?

I'm really concerned about my dad who has bronchial asthma. He's on tablets and uses a respiratory spray. We're thinking about getting a dog and I'm worried if that'll affect him in any way. His condition isn't too severe and he rarely experiences heavy breathing, but his PFT test interpretation showed severe obstruction. Right now, he's using Formoflo Inhaler. Could having a dog make his condition worse?
