I Got Severe Cold , Cough And Sneeze A Week
Question: I got severe cold, cough and sneeze a week back due to change in weather, tiring workload and excessive exposure to dust and smoke. Since, it is a common problem, i took Benadryl (R) cough syrup (Diphenhydramine) for 5 days. Apart from this, i was taking rest, some standard home precaution and remedy like drinking warm water, gargling salted water to remove mucus, drinking turmeric milk. After 5 days, i felt a significant improvement. However, cough has not gone completely. When i speak, i start coughing. Benadryl has also finished. Should i take another medicine to recover from cough completely? If yes, which medicine should i take?
Brief Answer:
Try Grillinctus...
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Your query here is related to a general health and not entirely specific to ENT. Therefore i take the opportunity to answer.
You reported to have cold and cough a week ago. I am not sure you had fever along with it. Now, you seem to be stuck with the cough problem and its troubling you. The current symptom may either be due to bronchitis or a post infectious cough. Both of these should resolve over a period of days to a week.
Do you have chest pain with cough now? And do you produce sputum with cough?
If you have none of these, then I suggest you try Syp Grillinctus 5ml three times a day. Try steam inhalation twice or thrice a day. It should ease the severity and help you feel better.
Let me know if you have any of the aforementioned symptoms.
Regards
