Recom OTC med for Cough, for ABPA patien
I have ABPA.
Two days ago, I had a fever of 101°F. The fever went away after taking Dolo 650.
But now, my cough is slowly increasing. It's a dry cough, and I feel like clearing my throat every minute.
Today I also started feeling chest tightness.
Can any doctors here please suggest some over-the-counter (OTC) medicine?
Should I try OTC medicines for a few days, or should I immediately consult my pulmonary doctor?
