Question: what is the difference between a chest infection and asthma?
Answer: The difference between a chest infection cough and an asthma cough. In comparison to a dry asthma cough, a chest infection cough is wet and you might cough up phlegm. Some people with asthma say they feel a wet chest infection cough 'in their chest' more, whereas a dry 'asthma cough' irritates their throat.
