I ve been having a serious cough that comes a few times throughout the day. It s been like this for 3months. Last week I got very dizzy 2 days out of the week. I thought I was going to fall out or something that s how bad it was. Do you know what may be going on with me?
The symptoms as mentioned in your post suggest that you might be having Allergic tracheo-bronchitis. Examination of the throat using a laryngoscope and X ray of the chest will be helpful in clinching the diagnosis.
Management includes: 1.Antihistamine preparations like Allegra & Cough expectorant syrup for symptomatic relief. 2. Montelukast preparations- used as a maintenance therapy to relieve symptoms of seasonal allergies. 3. A course of antibiotics may be taken to prevent secondary bacterial attack. 4. Maintain adequate hydration & take a healthy balance diet. 5. Also make sure that you are well protected from cold, dust & other allergens.
Wishing you a good health. Take care.
