My mother is suffering from severe cough.
I took her to doctor, he gave normal cough syrup and some tabs.
But there is no improvement.
Could you please suggest which type of Doctor I need to visit and what kind of tests to be done.

She seems to be suffering from post viral cough which is a common type of dry cough syndrome after an attack of viral upper respiratory tract infection or allergic airway disorder. Identification of cause is important before starting treatment
Next Steps
Consult nearby physician or pulmonologist for confirmation of diagnosis and appropriate treatment if required
