Suggest Remedy For Dry Itchy Cough

I have a dry itchy cough that leads me to gasping for air. It s been over a month, I use to hear a wheezing, but now that s stopped. It sounds terrible. I can t even laugh hard without having a coughing fit. I literally have to force myself to inhale through the hacking cough. I some times have mucus that comes up with it. Buty throat itches uncontrollably during this time and I have vomited some during these spells.

What you have got is a post viral cough. It may sometimes be very refractory to treatment and takes a long time to get away.
Start seretide inhaler 2 puff 2 times daily and tablet singulair 10 mg daily at night. You should be fine in 4-5 DAYS but continue treatment for 3 weeks
