Do I have asthma? I have had a cough for about 2 weeks and have read that sometimes it can just be a cough.?

I am not unfit and none of my close family have asthma, although my grandad had emphysema and my dad smokes. The coughing is sometimes triggered by strong smells such as perfume and air freshener, and smoke.
are you wheezing? if not, then it is not asthma

Perfume, air freshener and smoke are all among the usual asthma triggers, so you might have it, however, the only way to make sure would be to visit a doctor because it is not easy to diagnose someone with asthma.
There are so many people who think that they have asthma when they actually don’t because there are other illnesses with really similar symptoms. I would definitely suggest you to see a doctor, He will ask about your symptoms, medical history, do some physical examination and make you undergo some tests. Then and only then you will be sure if you have asthma or not.
