How To Get Rid Of Dry Cough?

Hello, I cough all the time. It is dry and I still have post nasal drip which was unsuccessfully treated with a nasal (long term use) spray. I have also recently stopped taking anti-acid meds after using for 13 years. I'm not sick - just the annoying cough. Thank you
P.S. I use a saline nasal rinse

Hello
It seems from the history that you are having cough and postnasal drip.
Postnasal drip is the cause for persistent cough in your case, hence treatment of postnasal drip will cure your cough.
The treatment is by using decongestant drugs.
Hence I advice you to consult your doctor for prescription of drugs.


Thank you
