Hello there. I can understand your concern. All cough are not the same. There is no one medicine to suit all types of cough. We need to determine what kind of cough it is. Consult a pulmonologist in person for further evaluation and management. Don't do self medication. Best regards. Dr. Anil Kumar Jain.
