Suggest Treatment For Severe Cough

I have had this cough for over a month. When the coughing spells come it is uncontrollable for about 2 minutes. At times the coughing is so bad, I develop a really bad headache I saw one doctor and she claimed it was allergies???? The medicine she gave me caused headaches so bad that I couldn't tolerate light. I do have the drainage in the back of my in the mornings but not as the day goes on. I have not run any fever.

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of sevre and severe cough which could be due to allergic bronchitis, chronic pulmonary disease, tuberculosis. I would suggest you to visit pulmonologist once and get chest X-ray done. Go for blood and sputum test first and get it examined. Start treatment after proper diagnosis. Take steam inhalation as well. You should take cough expectorants. Take proper course of antibiotics. You should take combination of anti allergic and antihistamine medications for immediate relief. Go for pulmonary function tests as well. Sip on warm water. Avoid cold drinks.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
