Cough & Weightloss
Hi,
I have been suffering from a cough for the last 2 months. Between it's stopped. When i started drinking cold water, my cough returned back. I consulted many doctors who were available in my location. They said it's because of climate change. During the morning & afternoon, my cough is little high. That also only for 5 mins. During night time, my cough is not heavy. Very mild. 5 to 7 coughs. I also noticed there was weightless. But I'm having my food properly. There is no fever or cold or chill. Only Cough.
I don't drink alcohol or don't smoke. I don't even drink coffee or tea. There is no history of lungs related problems in the family. No tuberculosis or anything.
Kindly suggest how to proceed further? Is there any medicine I can have to reduce my cough & increase weight.
