I get a bad cough about twice a year in spring and after our first rain. It last about 2 months and then is all of a sudden gone. I have gone to my doctor and had chest x-rays and every thing is clear. I have been told it is just an allergy cough and to take Musinx DM extra strength in case there is something to cough up. This year however, my cough started in August and a month later I still have it. It is a chesty broncial sounding cough. It is worse at night and sometimes I cannot control having a "coughing attack" that contracts everything in my body so hard I end up with sore chest, ribs, etc.Then I am constantly clearing my throat for about a half an hour after that due to it feeling like there is liquid in the back of my throat. Is their anything that I can take to stop the cough?
According to complaints you can have allergic cough or repeated viral flu... Your chest clear so no chance of tuberculosis.
Symptomatic treatment given. For inflammation relief benadryl might needed. More water... You also having post nasal drip as fluid feeling in throat.... If blocked nose there oxymetazoline nasal spray given....
If you have acid reflux then also pain can be there... If cough need to suppressed and troublesone dextromethorphan syrup need.
Honey help in soothing.... OSHA root help in relieving irritation.
Take care.
If still condition worsen spirometry done for further work up.
