Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
Suffering from dry cough for last 5 years is a matter of concern and needs to investigated. Commonly such prolonged duration of cough is allergic in nature or due to dry throat. Anti allergic medicines and steroid sprays can help to relieve your symptoms after properly investigating and ruling out other serious causes of chronic cough under the guidance of your physician.
Passing sperms in the urine is more likely to be either a urine infection or passing some prostatic secretions in the urine. A complete urine examination will help in making the situation clear.
I hope my answer and recommendations are adequate and helpful. Waiting for your further follow up queries if any.
Regards.

I got night sweats as well with dry cough from 5years.

Hello,

Thanks for writing back.

Night sweats associated with chronic dry cough might be suggestive of tuberculosis. A sputum examination and culture will help in the diagnosis.

Night sweats may just be a coincidental finding with chronic cough and may need to be dealt with separately.

Sincerely hope it will help.

Wishing you an early recovery.

Hello,

The chest infection that is chronic can happen as a result of HIV also as HIV is an immunodeficient state and infections are a common thing in such patients. You can get your HIV status checked using ELISA for specific antigens.

Hope this helps.
