Persistent cough
I had thick saliva for a week and then I had sore throat for almost 3 weeks after that I started taking Giloy(Patanjali) after which my sore throat was gone but persistent cough started and it has been around 5 weeks and going with persistent white cough.
The problem of sore throat has happened before whenever I used to come back to Jaipur from my college in other city but after going back to college(different city) my sore throat was resolved.
I am taking Antihistamine and Vitamin C tablets now since 7 days but cough isn't going.
I also have braces.
What could be the possible cause for this and what should I do?
