Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I have had a cough that has lasted 6 days. I first thought it was alergies but more of a constant tickle in my throat. I cough so much it hurts my abdomen . I do not have a fever nor head congestion nor chest pains. When I blow my nose comes a light color slime and also when I cough up stuff. I also feel very tired from coughing so much and weak.

General & Family Physician, Dr. Nishad BN's Response
Hello,
I have gone through your query. Your problem can be due to allergic bronchitis or acid reflux. In such case I would suggest taking combination of antihistamines like Levocetirizine and mast cell stabilizers like montelukast. Taking proton pump inhibitors like Esomeprazole daily for 4 weeks will be helpful to clear acid reflux also.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards, Dr. Nishad BN
