Suggest Treatment For Persistent Dry Cough

Better to get done HIV testing and chest x ray.
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for your question on Health Care Magic.
I can understand your concern.
In my opinion, you should get done chest x ray and HIV testing.
Since you are sexually active, HIV must be rule out first in your case.
Chest x ray is needed to rule out lung infection.
If both HIV and chest x ray is normal then you are mostly having severe bacterial upper respiratory tract infection.
So you need antibiotics, antihistamines and anti inflammatory drugs.
Avoid oily and spicy food. Drink plenty of fluids orally. Avoid hard to chew food. Do warm water gargles 5-6 times a day.
Hope I have solved your query.
I will be happy to help you further.
Wish you good health.
Thanks.

Just make sure that they are using Elisa method of testing.
And you are mostly having vitamin b complex deficiency due to liquor.
So better to avoid liquor and start treatment suggested by me in the previous answer. Also start multivitamin tablet.
