Hi
Welcome to Healthcare-Magic
Greetings of the day
Presence of recurrent cough, it's important to rule out the following
1. Tuberculosis
2. Gastroesophageal reflux
3. Bronchial asthma
Further management will depend on exact cause.
In the meantime steam inhalation and warm saline gargling will definitely provide the much needed relief.
Take care
Best Regards
