Dry cough for last 7 days

2016-10-23 07:45:48
Hi I have a very dry cough for the last 7 days. Had been diagnosed with seasonal flu 2 weeks back and doctor had recommended antibiotic for which took full course. While the fever has subsided, the dry cough continues and has got worse in last 7 days. Have frequent bouts of severe cough. What's the recommendation?

Meet an ENT Specialist to examine you. You are most probably having chronically inflamed paranasal sinuses which is spreading downwards into nose and throat. A CT-PNS should confirm my diagnosis.
