Hello, Thank you for asking at HCM. I went through your history and would like to make suggestions for you as follows: 1. I usually prescribe my such patients an antihistamine like cetirizine/levocetirizine/fexofenadine for 7-14 days regularly. 2. If you have such symptoms frequently, I would also think of allergy and would add montelukast to above suggested antihistamine. 3. I would like to know your nose symptoms like nose congestion, running nose, sneezing, etc. If they are present, I would suggest you regular steam inhalation which may help. 4. Regular warm saline gargles will also soothe your throat and reduce throat irritation and therefore cough. 5. In general, please avoid exposure to dusts, smokes and air pollution as much as possible. 6. If you notice that your voice is changed, I would suggest to avoid speaking too much/too loudly and get an advice from speech therapist. This is because I can understand that you are a teacher which needs a lot of use of vocal cords. 7. If you have such complaints frequently, I would suggest you allergy testing for air-borne allergens such as house dust mites, molds, pollens, insect proteins, animal dander, etc. If this is your first episode, I would not think of allergy and hence would not suggest allergy testing. Hope above suggestions will be helpful to you. Should you have any further query, please feel free to ask at HCM. Wish you the best of the health ahead. Thank you & Regards.
