Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have persistent cough which is due to chronic lung infection , asthma, acid relux if cough is dry or bronchitis. The symptoms can also occur due to sore throat. Need not to worry much. I would suggest you to visit pulmonologist once and get it examined. You should go for pulmonary function tests and x-ray chest as well to check exact level of infection. Start treatment only after proper prescription. Doctor may also refer you to allergy specialist for condition like asthma. Drink plenty of water. Take hot milk rich in turmeric as it will booster immunity. Also take half spoon of honey with warm water and eat light , non spicy. You need inhaled bronchodilators and antihistamine drug. You should use mist humidifiers in room. You should take cough expectorants as well.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
