What Causes Dry Cough And Numbness In The Left Arm?
Hello, I have been experiencing some dry cough for about four to six weeks. I have no sputum with the cough, its more or so a dry cough. I have this happen several times a day. Recently, I also had an episode in which my lower left arm became heavy and numb. Then, the following day, I had extreme back pain on my upper back on the left side. I am becoming more concerned with my cough, and with the whole numbing and pain, feel very concerned.

Hi,
A dry cough may be from the flu you just had or from post nasal drip. You can use desloratadine to ease it. The numbness and pain in the left arm are due to the pinched spinal nerve. Take rest and Ibuprofen for pain.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
