Suggest Remedy To Cure Constant Coughing

Sir, I am constantly coughing for the past the 2 months now. I have been taking anbiotics which give temporary relief for 2-3 days. In these days too I do cough but it is reduced, but never stops. The coughing increases to levels where I ultimately land up puking the entire food. Such coughs are accompanied by headaches and cold. I did my AEC tests and awating the results.

Pulmonologist,  's  Response
Thanks for your question on HCM.
I can understand your situation and problem.
You are having chronic cough (cough more than 2 weeks).
And chronic cough should be evaluated for
1. Lung infection like tuberculosis and pneumonia
2. Bronchitis and asthma.
So consult pulmonologist and get done
1. Chest x ray to rule out infection.
2. CT thorax. If chest x ray is inconclusive to diagnose lung infection.
3. PFT (pulmonary function test) to rule out bronchitis and asthma.
Don't take haphazard treatment. Better to consult pulmonologist and discuss all these possible cause and start treatment accordingly.
