Dry cough for a month

2017-10-25 03:23:58
It started after a common cold. I thought it will go away in a week but it has persisted. It has been 1 month now. I have not taken any medicine. Should I take mucolite?

You seem to be suffering from post viral cough which is a common type of dry cough syndrome after an attack of viral upper respiratory tract infection. Usually it will resolve on its own within few days. You can use dry cough syrups, strepsils like lozenges and steam inhalation for symptomatic relief
Next Steps
Consult nearby ENT specialist for confirmation of diagnosis and appropriate treatment if required.
