Suggest Medication For Cough

I've been sick with this cough thing for over a month now. I've tried everything! From 5 different cough medicines, 3 cough syrups, and 2 types of cough drop brands! and nothing works! My parents refuse to take me in and get me checked out! HELP!
I also get in these cough attacks things, where either i breath in a lot or even in the middle of nowhere! It wont stop!

Pulmonologist 's  Response
Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
You are having chronic cough (cough for more than 2 weeks).
Lung infection (pneumonia, tuberculosis) and bronchitis are common causes for chronic cough.
So better to consult pulmonologist and get done clinical examination of respiratory system, chest x ray and PFT (Pulmonary Function Test).
Yoi may need antibiotics, inhaled bronchodilators and inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) on the basis of reports.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
