Brief Answer: It will take couple of weeks more.. Detailed Answer: Hi, I understand your concern. Such acute episodes of dry cough take few weeks to improve. Most of my patient suffer with this condition for atleast 4-6 weeks before they improve. I would recommend that use cough lozenges such as Syp Tusq D. This is available over the counter. But if the cough persists to disturb you throughout the day, it would be better to use a bronchodilator syrups such as salbutamol or terbutaline after discussing with your physician. Besides medications, you can try simple measures at home such as drinking warm glass of water; using ginger tea and deep steam inhalation. You may also try sleeping in a semi reclined posture to ease the distress at night. Hope this helps. Let me know if you need clarifications. Regards
