Suggest Treatment For Dry Cough
Question: I am having dry cough past 4 days.. How can i cure it.. Sometimes it really worsens
Brief Answer:
Viral vs allergic cough.....
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Difficult to predict what caused the dry cough. But considering the short duration of history it is likely to be viral or allergic cough. I hope you don't suffer from dry cough / breathing difficulties regularly in the past.
In such cases, I suggest starting antitussive cough syrup like Syp Ascoril D 5ml three times a day. It is a prescription drug and your doctor will know about it. In addition, keep yourself warm. Steam inhalation will also benefit you.
Hope this helps.
Regards
