How Can Chronic Cough Be Treated?
My husband has developed a dry nagging cough since starting some new medications. He is taking amlodipine, atorvastatin and losartan for blood pressure and cholesteral. Any idea which medication may be the cause and is there a better alternative? Thanks

-use cough drops,
-use honey, and ginger.
Hope my answer was helpful, if you have any other questions I'll be glad to help, thanks!
