Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of persistent cough which is due to chronic lung infection and compromised immune system. Need not to worry much. I would suggest you to take few preventions such as drink plenty of water and sip on warm water and take hot milk rich in turmeric. You should visit pulmonologist once and get it examined. You should go for x-ray chest and pulmonary function tests as well to check exact level of infection. Start treatment only after proper prescription. You should use mist humidifiers in room. You should take cough expectorants as well.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
