Hello,
You should see an ENT specialist. You will need a cough syrup that contains codeine or dextromethorphan.
Other general measures also you should follow.
1) Drink plenty of warm fluids.
2) Practice voice rest.
3) Avoid air conditioning and fan.
4) Avoid cold foods.
5) do steam inhalation 4 times a day.
If your cough does not subside even with the above-mentioned medicines then asthma will have to be ruled out.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr Ivan R. Rommstein, General Surgeon
