Suggest Medication For Dry Cough And Congestion Of Throat

I have had both a dry cough and then mucous in the back of my throat for 4 weeks. No other symptoms. It is definitely more annoying than debilitating....although it can present a problem when I am talking to a client and I go into a coughing/choking spell. Not sure what is going on. Never had allergies in the past (I am 60 years old) and never have had anything like this.

Treatment for dry cough and sore throat is tab Azithromycin 500 mg once daily or tab Ampoxin 500 mg three times daily after meals along with some decongestant like tab wikoryl or tab diominic-dca three times daily after meals with cap pantop or cap omez twice daily empty stomach. For dry cough, you can simply take syrup tusq-dx or syrup grilinctus 2 tsf three times daily. In addition to these medicines you have to do salt water gargles and steam inhalation as it is very helpful in case of sore throat to relieve the congestion and to give soothing effect to your throat.
