HI Thank for asking to HCM I can understand your problem, this could be a allergic cough, it takes pretty long time to come around but this can be control with the general care and medicine, if I would be your doctor then I would start the following treatment. 1) Tab Terfenadine with Pseudoephedrine twice in day 2) Tab Prednisolone 20mg three times in day in tapering manner, reduce the dose every after three third day by 10 mg complete the 360mg within 9days for general care drink lots of water, have hot drinks, have hot shower, this regime would give you best result, take care and have best time.
