Suggest Remedy For Intermittent Dry Cough
Hello, I am a male, 64 years old and I have an intermittent dry ticklish cough. It comes and goes sometimes at night I wake up with this dry cough and can t get rid of it without taking a cough drop. I take blood pressure medicine which the doctor said could cause this but has not done this in many years.

Hello,
The symptoms seem to be related to dry cough. One of the common causes of dry cough is allergy. I suggest using an antihistamine such as Cetirizine 10 mg daily. I also suggest to continue using cough drops for relieve. If the symptoms continue, you should see an allergist for further evaluation.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Dorina Gurabardhi, General & Family Physician
