Hello,
Thank you for asking at HCM.
I went through your history and would like to know more about you such as since how long do you have cough, any other symptoms, any other investigations, your age, whether a smoker or not, etc etc.
However, from your current history, I would like to make suggestions for you as follows:
1. It is very important to know the cause of your cough as there are many possible causes.
2. In addition of medicines, I usually advise my patients regular warm saline gargles, which help soothing throat and reduce cough.
3. However, if this does not help, I would suggest you to provide more details, which would help me to suggest appropriate investigations, which would help to identify the cause of cough.
hope above suggestions will be helpful to you.
Should you have any further query, please feel free to ask at HCM.
Wish you the best of the health ahead.
Thank you & Regards.
