Occasional cough but severe
I had cold, cough almost 2 months back. Recovered. But after that in 8-10 days getting severe cough which lasts for 3-4 hours. Have taken azithromicin and montelukast as prescribed but didn't help. Did a chest x-ray and it was normal. No cough at all for 8-10 days then suddenly it's happening. Please suggest.

Azithromycin is not regular therapy. Better take flu vaccine. Take online consultation for better information
