Recom OTC med for Cough, for ABPA patien

2025-06-14 13:27:04
I have ABPA. Two days ago, I had a fever of 101°F. The fever went away after taking Dolo 650. But now, my cough is slowly increasing. It's a dry cough, and I feel like clearing my throat every minute. Today I also started feeling chest tightness. Can any doctors here please suggest some over-the-counter (OTC) medicine? Should I try OTC medicines for a few days, or should I immediately consult my pulmonary doctor?
