Having Persistent Cough And Running Nose. Have Dust Allergy And Asthma. Taken Benadryl And Alkof, No Help. Advise?
Question: i am having persistant cough and slightly running nose for last 5 days. I have dust alergy and some mild asthama problem.
The coughing could have increased due to the fact that i was shifting house and had some dust exposure.
I have taken benedril, Lydril and Alkof (all cough syrup) with no improvement in coughing.
I took D Cold Total yesterday and it has decreased the coughing subtantially.
Should i countinue to take D Cold total? How many tablets can I take in a day?
Should i also take any inhaler like Seroflow?

Hi,
Thanks for your query.
Yes, you can take D cold total. Do take it twice daily once in the morning and in night after food fr not more than 3 days.
Since its cold season out there and can cause bronchoconstriction, you can add seroflow inhalation also if required.
