How Can Dry Cough Be Treated?

Hi I have a dry cough for months now that doesn't go away and doesn't get worse. The one thing I have noticed is that it is the worst when I am talking. I cannot finish a sentence without having to cough. I sleep well at night but the problem will not go away. Help

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Dry coughs related to allergies Manya times and it depends on the place you stay and work. Meet a pulmonologist who can help you sort out the issues. Need to get blood investigations and chest x ray. They prefer doing a pulmonary function test which will help to known what type of problem you have any restrictive lung disease or obstructive type. Even they will get a X-ray of the Para Nasal sinuses as these can cause post nap drip and cough.
