Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of dry cough which seems to be due to lung infection and bronchospasm and upper respiratory track infection. I would suggest you to consult pulmonologist without any delay. Doctor may order blood test , throat swab test and get an x ray of the chest and Immunoglobulin G levels checked for further treatment. Doctor may prescribe antibiotics along with decongestants and mucolytic agents. Doctor may also refer you to ENT specialist. Do warm saline gargles with pinch of salt water. Take expectorants and steam inhalation and take rest. You should avoid hot, sharp and spicy foods. .

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
