Pulmonologist,  's  Response
Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
You are having chronic chesty cough (cough with expectoration) since 2 months which is not improved by routine OTC (over the counter) drugs.
So better to consult pulmonologist and get done clinical examination of respiratory system, chest x ray and PFT (Pulmonary Function Test) to rule out lung infection and bronchitis.
You may need higher antibiotics, inhaled bronchodilators (formoterol or salmeterol) and N acetyl cystine (NAC) depending on the reports.
Don't worry, you will be alright. First diagnose and then start appropriate treatment.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
