Given her cardiac history,
diabetes, and age, she is already on a carefully balanced regimen. While the ongoing treatment is helping, the remaining dry, hollow-sounding cough could indicate post-viral bronchial irritation or a lingering allergic component.
Next Steps
You may consider trying a gentle, supportive remedy like DyCough syrup (available on Tata 1mg) â a homeopathic cough syrup designed to relieve dry and spasmodic coughs without drowsiness. It's generally safe for diabetic and cardiac patients but should still be used after a brief consult with a homeopath.
Health Tips
Warm water sips frequently to soothe the throat. Honey with turmeric (only if blood
sugar is well-controlled) â helps with irritation. Steam inhalation with ajwain or plain water â reduces chest tightness. Avoid cold drinks/dusty areas â common triggers for post-viral coughs.
