Persistent cough
Hi, I am 36 years old female. Around a month back I felt small itching in my throat and after two days I started coughing terribly. I took home remedies like ginger, warm water, Benedril. But nothing helped. So after 10-12 days I visited general physician. He prescribed me Augmed 625, moncel L, and cough syrup awexDx. Even taking these for five days nothing improved. Then I visited ENT specialist and he gave me Refzil O, Allegra. I took Allegra for few days and then I started with Refzil O. It's been four days but I still have cough. Though severity is not that much. I spit out greenish mucus whenever I cough. My eyes burn a little bit and my forehead feels little heavy. Please advise me what should I do. Thank you for your time.

I would advise you to do a sputum examination if the cough persists for another week even after having antibiotics and antihistamines. These following steps may help: - Do steam inhalation(plain steam) regularly - Drink water at an average of 3 liters per day - Avoid caffeinated and alcoholic beverages as they cause dehydration and will worsen your condition. - Have spicy food once in a while which will help clear your sinuses - Use a humidifier in your room which is seen to be beneficial in sinusitis - Wiping the face regularly with a towel moist with hot water has also shown to help.
