Dry Cough Issue
Hello Doctors, can you please suggest a cough syrup for dry cough. It's been over a week and the cough hs reduced but still there though not that intense. I have tried herbal remedies like Honitas Kadha, Joshanda etc and Benadryl Cough Syrup but that was the one for wet cough I believe as it js not the DR one.
I don't have fever, or runny nose just cough and initially had a sore throat which is now ok.

Sometimes after a flu you can have dry cough for couple of weeks
I would recommend not taking anything it will resolve on its own
But if its bothering you too much you can take ambroxol which will be helpful
Health Tips
Take luke warm water every night before bed
stop smoking if you are a smoker
and you can get Kushal kanthil (ayurvedic medicine) it will sooth your throat and also help with cough

Hello Sir,
Since your cough has lasted over a week but is improving, it’s likely post-viral irritation rather than infection. Instead of random syrups, simple care like warm fluids, steam inhalation, works well for dry cough ,consult a doctor can prescribe the right syrup if it persists.
If more questions are in your mind, you can contact me on WhatsApp at nine one one nine two five five six nine nine for free consultation.
