Suggest Remedy For Persistent Cough With Little Help From Asotolon And Brozedex

Hullo Rynne,

I greet you from Uganda. I have this cough that has persisted for like 3 or more months. I have checked and medicated my self, but it does not seem to go. right now am taking allergy tabs (Asotolon) and an expectorant syrup (Bro Zedex). It probably is working. Would advise some that i may not be doing.

Pulmonologist,  's  Response
Thanks for your question on Health Care Magic.
I can understand your concern.
In my opinion, we should first find out the cause for your cough and then start appropriate treatment.
You are having chronic cough (cough for more than 2weeks).
Following are the possible causes for this.
1. Tuberculosis
2. Chronic pneumonia
3. Bronchitis
4. Bronchiectesis.
So better to consult pulmonologist and get done
1. Clinical examination of respiratory system
2. Chest x ray
3. PFT (Pulmonary Function Test).
Chest x ray is needed to rule out infection like tuberculosis and pneumonia.
PFT is needed to rule out bronchitis.
So first diagnose yourself and then start appropriate treatment.
Hope I have solved your query.
I will be happy to help you further.
Wish you good health.
Thanks.
