Chronic dry coughing since 6 months

2017-04-25 21:13:28
I've been having chronic dry coughing since the last time I had caught cold some 6 months back. I am breastfeeding so opted for homeopathy. It subsided for few days but has come back again. I dont know whats causing it. It happens throughout the day and night and at times its so severe that it makes me almost vomit. Cant understand what medicine I should be taking as I am breastfeeding.
