Hi,
I really appreciate your concern. Ideally cough symptoms of more that couple of weeks needs to be brought to investigation like x-ray of chest, routine blood test, urine test even sputum examination, I would suggest to get this done till then you can try Tab Levocetrizine if it is the allergic cough, more acid secretion could be the cause of this but first it is important to get done the routine tests.
Hope this information helps. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Akhtarhusain Shaikh
