Suggest Treatment For Coughing Started Years Ago

My daughter aged 22 an MSW student studying at Loyola College of Social Sciences, Trivandrum is suffering from coughing for a long period to say for the last two-three years from the time she was studying for BSW at Rajagiri College of Social Sciences, Kalamaserry, Kerala. She consulted Allopathic Doctors and have blood checks, ECG, X Ray Esynofil tests and have medicine for some time. Only time being relief and it starts again. She consulted Ayurvedic and even Homeopathy Doctors, but still she suffers from the coughing and sometimes she is not able to breathe properly. The coughing is more in the evening and after going to bed she can sleep properly. Doctor I need your help and advice. I head of a Medicine namely Telekast (R) F. Is it good for her coughing. Please suggest a medicine for my daughter who always has to go out for Field works twice a week for last three years with the field agencies. I hope your advice/suggestion will help her. Thanks.

Allergist and Immunologist 's  Response
Hello.

Thank you for asking at HCM.

I went through your daughter's history and conclude that she has chronic cough since long and also at times difficulty in breathing.

I assume she does not have any other illnesses like recurrent infections, fevers, weight loss, reduced appetite, chest pain, vomiting, etc.

If she does not have any of the above mentioned complaints, first of all I would think of asthma. In that case Telekast F (for which you have asked) would benefit her. If she is not benefited completely by that, I would suggest to consult an Allergist who will advice her allergy testing & spirometry and then will suggest her inhaler therapy for asthma. Allergy testing will also guide her about what she is allergic to and how to avoid them.

I would also suggest her to avoid dust, cold air, smoke & air pollution as much as possible. I would advice her to cover her nose while traveling. Regular breathing exercises, Yoga & Pranayama and a healthy nutritious diet will help her in a long run.

Hope this will be helpful to you.

Wish your daughter best of the health.

Dr Parin N Parmar
