Hello,

Coughing or sneezing may be due to viral Infection of the respiratory tract or in smokers may have bronchitis with a cough. Many other causes like acid reflux or asthma variant if a cough may present like this.

Use a tablet. Montelukast and Levocetirizine once a day for five days.

If symptoms not improved please consult your physician he will examine and take a chest x-ray, 2d echo. Then consult your physician he will examine and treat you accordingly.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
