Detailed Answer:
Hello again, XXXXXXX

Persistent cough can be debilitating and tiring. Irritation in the throat and pharynx can lead to a dry repetitive hacking cough. You need to stay well hydrated. Steam inhalation with a couple of drops of menthol or vicks can be helpful. Hot tea with 2 teaspoon of honey is a soothing and natural remedy. Combinations of terbutaline with guaifenesin or with acetylcysteine can help thin out the mucus and expectorate it with ease. These cough medication are likely to be available OTC. You can check your local pharmacy store for it. With the above, your symptoms will most likely improve. If the cough persists, shortness of breath worsens or there is associated fever then you need to consult your doctor who may advise an x ray chest and blood counts to look for other causes that may require treatment with antibiotics +/_ steroids.

Let me know if you have any query


Wishing you best of health

Thanks
