I have had cough for 3 weeks and am still coughing. l have asthma. What can I do?

As your cough has persisted for such a long time and because you also suffer from asthma, the best advice I can give you at this stage is to make an appointment with a doctor.

Coughs due to viral infections such as colds or flu can linger for weeks but if they do, it will be worthwhile excluding other health conditions.
