Hello,

As per your query you have symptoms of persistent cough which is due to bronchitis and could be hospital acquired infection as well.

I would suggest you to drink plenty of water luke warm one and take hot milk rich in turmeric as it will booster immunity. Visit pulmonologist once and get it examined. You should go for pulmonary function tests and x-ray chest as well to check exact level of infection. Start treatment only after proper prescription. Apply mist humidifiers in room and take cough expectorants as well.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
