General & Family Physician, Dr. Dr. Parth Goswami's Response

Hi welcome to health care magic

Any cough with duration more than three week should be evaluated through chest x ray....

So your work up should be done with...
-Auscultation
-Chest x ray
-if needed PNS x ray
-Sputum examination
-CBC etc..

According to report further treatment can be given

You might have tuberculosis like pneumonia case as well.
It will be cleared from chest x ray

If chronic bronchitis revealed suitable full antibiotic given

Avoid excess spicy foods

More water
Vitamin C lozenges given

For congestion relief benadryl prescribed

Take care

Pulmonologist consultation advisable for examination
