Suggest Remedy To Get Rid Of Prolonged Cough

prolonged cough
I've had a cough for ten days now. it started as a mild cough so I thought it would go away. I even smoked the couple two days it started. then it got really bad. now its milder but still persisting after ten days. I don't have any history of illness and the cough came on so suddenly. no other symptoms of any other disease. just coughing. I tried nyquil, dayquil and theraflu. nothing helped. please help.

Pulmonologist 's  Response
Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Since you have just started smoking, your cough is mostly related to bronchitis.
It is inflammation of airways.
Actually any smoke can cause irritation and inflammation of the airways.
This is common during initial days of smoking.
So better to quit smoking as soon as possible.
This is not good habit.
Consult pulmonologist and get done clinical examination of respiratory system.
You will need inhaled bronchodilator and inhaled corticosteroids (ICS).
Don't worry, with appropriate treatment, you will be alright.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
