coughing
so i got a cough on like thursday night itno friday morning, which is most likely from allergies because the weather around here has been fluctuating on and off. friday night, i smoked hookah (with tobacco) .. and my cough kinda got worse. it was stupid to do, i know, considering my cough but theres nothing i can do about it now. so my mom said if it doesnt get better in a few days i have to go to the doctor. would the doctor be able to tell that i smoked? i really didnt do it for that long, but i just want to know if he would be able to tell. obviously i dont want him or my mom knowing. but the whole thing began with my allergies im pretty sure.

No I doubt the doctor will know you smoke unless he runs certain test. He wil prolly come to a conclusion without knowing that you coughed since it only irrated it I doubt that is the underlying problem that started this whole thing.

To really measure/test a person for smoking takes a carboxyhemoglobin and methhemoglobin detector. A co-oximetry is not a typical test to run. Or the Dr. could test your urine with the dipstick NicoMeter method.
If your mom suspects you of smoking - she could request a test. But just a simple cough should not raise suspicions with the Dr. to test you for smoking.
