Tried medications...

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

It would have been better if you could have answered all my questions. I still do not know how the symptoms began. Did you have fever or cold initially when cough began. I would also like to know if you started any treatment for it.

I will be able to make a personalised opinion based on your replies.

Hope I will get complete details.
