Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of dry cough for over a year which seems to be due to chest infection/ chronic upper respiratory tract infection.
Need not to worry. I would suggest you to do warm saline gargles. You should take cough expectorants. Apply mist humidifiers in room. Visit pulmonologist once and get it examined. You should get chest X-ray done and start treatment after proper diagnosis have been made. You should take antibiotic Levofloxacin in combination with antiallergic medication. You can start with bronchodilator inhalation after proper prescription. Avoid oily and sharp food. Drink plenty of fluids.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
