Suggest Medication For Prolonged Cough

I am 30 years old and I have had a cough for over 2 months now.
I have taken syrups which have not done anything. I later turned onto antibiotics and nothing worked !

My cough is largely dry but sometimes there is thin salty spittle coming out.

Please help!

Hello dear

Warm welcome to Healthcaremagic.com
I have evaluated your query in details .

* The cough since 2 months not responding to antibiotics need evaluation
with basic lab tests , x-ray chest with or without further detailed
work up ( CT scan , pulmonary function test ) depending upon the
primary evaluation .

* Without precise cause evaluation , empiric syrups or antibiotics are
strongly not recommended in this case .

Hope this clears your query .

Wishing you fine recovery .
Feel free to ask any further doubts .

Regards .
