What makes a non-smoker cough every couple of minutes?

Sure

Bong

Allergies, or more likely non-allergenic rhinitis causing post nasal drip, this is normally treated with Atrovent which is an ipratropium bromide nasal spray, but there is a worldwide shortage at the moment because its gone out of production for six months.

Not a doctor but I have this myself, fortunately I managed to stock up on the spray because there's fuckall else that works

Covid

It can be a side effect of certain medications.

Is his name Marguerite?

Are you sure it’s coughing and not queefing?

weed

Mold

RSV.

Smoking damages the cilia which usually keeps your airways clear allowing irritants to enter. Also, smoking causes you to produce more mucus making you cough more.

^^^a non-smoker likely coughs for similar reasons. Older people produce a lot more mucus usually from post-nasal drip, in general.

However, sinus infections and allergies will also cause coughing.

Esophageal Cancer.

He's choking on the upstairs neighbor's cock, Rose.

Coughing can also be habit forming. While it’s true some of us are on a heavy nicotine/thc schedule, coughing feels great.

The very best coughs come when you’re in the shower with hot water beating on your shoulders.

Your lungs ejaculate a clumpy splat and the world is good.

r15 how old are you?

I am an ex-smoker (two years) and I was genuinely annoyed my coughing didn't stop.

I could, of course, be dying of throat cancer as I speak which I'm sure many will say, but for myself, a humidifier made a huge difference. I live in a very dry environment (even in the summer), and it has helped a lot.

You smell, OP. Take a bath and she’ll stop coughing. You’re destroying her lungs.

Plot twist, OP doesn’t live in an apartment and the coughing is all in his head.

Rabies.

I've never smoked in my life – cigarettes, that is, but I haven't smoked any weed since at least 2018 – but depending on the time of year, I either get chest colds or allergies that produce a lot of phlegm fairly regularly. OTOH I sure as hell don't cough THAT often, and a nonsmoker doing so literally nonstop – for months, if not years, on end – is weird.

How old is your neighbor, OP, and how long has he lived there? If he's a recent retiree who worked either in mining or, say, telephone or electrical work, he could have asbestosis or another chronic lung ailment. He could also be coughing if he's morbidly obese with COPD but refuses to wear a c-pap.

How old is he, OP? My mother takes a blood pressure pill that causes frequent coughing. She has developed congestive heart failure in recent years, which also causes frequent coughing.

Full-blown AIDS.

He could be on an ACE inhibitor. That causes cough.

He could have TB or MAC (mycobacterium avium complex).

Allergies.

Heart failure

Pulmonary hypertension

Pulmonary edema.

Acid reflux.

COPD.

Hiatal hernia.

Cancer

Asbestos

Silicosis

Pulmonary fibrosis

Could’ve been a construction worker using power tools with wood or plaster; or a painter who used a spray gun and didn’t wear a mask.

R5. I started Lisinopril and my doctor warned it can cause a cough. It hasn’t thus far, but I’m still at the lowest dosage.

Acid reflux can make a person cough.
