Suggest Treatment For Persistent Dry Cough
I have a dry hacking cough, especially when I breathe in through my mouth. Also, when I speak a long sentence. I don t really have any other symptoms. It doesn t really hurt unless I cough too much at once. Mostly just annoying, however it is getting more frequent. Do you have any ideas?

Hello,
There are many causes related to dry cough. It can be related to gastroesophageal reflux disease. It can also be caused by allergies. I recommend to use an antihistamine such as Cetirizine to relieve the cough. If the symptoms continue, I suggest to see a gastrologist for further evaluation.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
