<human>: Going to go fast. Dating this girl for 4 years, she has recently had some medical issues and has begun coughing a lot. eg. 5 min drive, about 8 times. She coughs really loud to the point where it hurts my ears such as if I was listening to an ipod full blast for like 10 minutes, it resonates in my ears.. It wouldn't be so bad if she would cover her mouth to try and muffle the sound, but she does not try at all. How can I go about and tell her to try and at least muffle her coughs without sounding rude?

She also adds a fake laugh when ever she says something kind of funny, pointing something out, when she corrects me/someone, when she is getting mad. The laugh always sounds the same and is extremely fake. It is very annoying and I can tell it annoys others. How can I bring this up in attempt to make her stop without sounding rude. I don't want her to feel self-concious.

I know this sounds ridiculous and childish compared to the other threads on this, but she is very fragile and I do not want to hurt her emotionally, and was wondering what the best way to go about this would be.

She only has recently started doing both of these things like 5 months ago, I thought it would stop soon so I didn't bring it up, but now since it has been so long I don't want her to feel as if she has been hurting me/annoying us for so long without anyone saying something. How can I tell her politely and without hurt.

Can you provide a brief overview of the text?
