Suggest Remedy For Persistent Cough

Get done chest x ray.
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for your question on Health Care Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Continuous coughing in sitting or standing position is seen in lung infection or bronchitis.
So better to consult pulmonologist and get done
1. Clinical examination of respiratory system
2. Chest x ray
3. PFT (Pulmonary Function Test).
Chest x ray is needed to rule out lung infection.
PFT is must for the diagnosis of bronchitis. It will also tell you about severity of the disease and treatment of bronchitis is based on severity only.
She may need additional bronchodilators also.
So better to consult pulmonologist and discuss all these.
Hope I have solved your query.
I will be happy to help you further.
Wish you good health. Thanks.
