Suggest Treatment For Dry Cough
I have a really bad dry hacking cough, I have tried all the over the counter cough medicines and the only one that helped some what was Mucinex 12hour DM, now I still have the cough but every so often cough and spit out big green mucus globs. I do the salt and water garggles and humidifier plus take a 24 hour claritin for allergies. What else can I do?

Hello.
Welcome to HCM,
As you are having dry cough for long period for which you have tried different medicines but still your symptoms persists.
As you are getting green color sputum suggests me that you are having bacterial infection, which may requires a course of broad spectrum antibiotics like tab Augmentin which will acts against the organisns and control the symptoms.
For your symptoms i would suggest you to follow
Steam inhalation with vapocaps
Oral antibiotic like Tab Augmentin
Oral antihistamines
Syp Tusq DX
These medicines will help you to relieve the symptoms.
Thank you
