Suggest Treatment For Persistent Cough While On Zyrtec-D
I have a cough that I have had for years. It seems to come from excess mucus because you can feel that the cough is trying to bring something up. I have been taking Zyrtec D for a while now, and it does help, but it doesn t get rid of the cough. What should I do?

Hello,
You have to use expectorant rather than decongestants.
Use bronchodilators with antibiotics.
Use water vapour inhalation and salt water gargling thrice a day for five days.
If symptoms not improved please consult your doctor he will examine and treat you accordingly.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
