Have Cough And Sore Throat. Medicine Has Side Effects. Advice?
I have had a chronic cough since October, sore throat and have been on antibiotics 3 times and it never goes away. I have tried the netti pot twice a day and using a nasal spray . Quit doing that two weeks ago when my dentist said I have very bad dry mouth and am getting cavities along the gum line. What do I do now for the cough, sore throat and post nasal drip . I have not been sleeping well because of the cough.

thank you for the query,
chronic cough should be examined in detail, Advise u to get an opinion from a pulmonologist. U will be needing a thorough investigations and changes in ur medications. Advise u to get your decayed teeth treated as that is also a source of infection.
