hello, heartburn may indicate acute gastritis. for that you can take pantaprazole40mg once daily before breakfast. for your persistent cough it may be a lower respiratory problem. you haven't mentioned whether its dry cough or with sputum. use deryphylline 150mg twice daily for 5 days syrup ascaril 2 teaspoons thrice daily for symptomatic relief. but you should go to hospital for further examination whether you have TB relapse as soon as possible. hope your question is answered regards...
