Regarding dry cough
Hello Sir/madam.
I need to know that I have been suffering from cough since 8 to 9 days and it's dry cough. Itching in throat usually. And I had meds like Amoxicillin and syrup. Also other antibiotics too. But it seems to have reduced , at the same time I do get intense cough as soon as I wake up and as well as late at night. I do have smoking issue too. Whenever I smoke the cough is very intense no mucus. Do I need to take a CT scan or Xray while going for next appointment with the doctor. Kindly help me out. My smoking is bad. I do consume like 6-7 a day. Kindly lemme know. Since 2-3 years.
Thank you respected Sir/madam.
