Hi,I am Dr. Amitkumar Sharma (Internal Medicine Specialist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Hi, I have been having severe dry cough since last 1 week.There are no other symptoms.I took Delsym and Robitussin and other medicines which did not help . The doctor gave me medicines for pnemonia,but that did not help.I don't have asthama or any other allergies that i know of. Please help.
Hi, It seems that you mightbe having viral infection. This infection is self limiting and takes its own course. continue with same medicine for 2-3 days more, if there is no improvement then there might be having possibility of Eosinophilia which gives same picture. Then you might require complete blood checking like TC, DC, Eosinophil count. Bacterial infection is less likely as you are given medicine for pneumonia without any relief. Avoid fried, chillies, junk food and cold drinks. Ok and take care.
