Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
Developing a cough while on rota caps cannot be due to allergy as these rotacaps already have steroids as one of the components.
The prolonged cough that you are having is either from the dryness of throat or the cause needs to be investigated.
If there is expectoration present then sputum examination and culture for AFB will help in the diagnosis.
If the cough is present only at the time of inhaling rotacap then it is a common finding as some of the powder when directly touches the throat irritates it and causes cough.
In Bangalore you can consult at MS Ramaiah chest institute.
I hope my answer and recommendations are adequate and helpful. Waiting for your further follow up queries if any.
Regards.
