Hi,
Thanks for writing to health care magic.
First we will have to identify what is the cause of that cough. It could be because of other causes like bronchial asthma or tuberculosis. Based on the cause further treatment should be given.
Investigations like CBC, Mantoux, X ray chest etc may be required after a proper physical examination to identify the cause.
Continue to ask further queries as required.
Hope this helps.
Take care.
