Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you are having cough since 4 days which is due to upper respiratory tract infection. It could be due to sinusitis/ granular pharyngitis. I would suggest you to consult ENT specialist for proper evaluation and get it diagnosed. Get X-ray chest done to detect level of infection. You should take antibiotic Levofloxacin along with antihistamine. You should do warm saline gargles and avoid hot and spicy food. You should take cough expectorants and apply mist humidifiers in room. Avoid exposure to allergens. You should avoid cold liquids and spicy food substances. Take nebulization with salbutamol and pulmicort as well.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
