Suggest Treatment For Non Productive Cough And Metallic Taste In Mouth

I started out with a slight tickle in my throat with infrequent coughing. This was about 14 days ago. It has now become a full non-productive cough. No fever, some sinus congestion but no green or yellow sputum. The cough seems to be worse later in the evening. Also when I cough I have a slight metal-like taste in my mouth.

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, this could be allergic cough ideally this does not need any specific medicine most of the time this comes around without medicine if this does not then you can try second generation antihistamine and the drug of choice would be Tab Levocetrizine 10 mg once in day, if the cough is even persistent then this need to be investigated, hope this information helps, take care.
I find this answer helpful
