What Causes Running Nose And Irritating Cough?

Hi, I have irritating cough along with accasional running nose WITHOUT having cold. Sometimes it is dry, sometimes cough is yellowish and sometimes it is dark in color. I visited ENT doc and he suggested Amoxycillin tab, LCZ plus and RESWAS syrup. After having taken for 5 days it is not yet perfectly ok. I had sinus problem in the past.

Hello
Irritating cough ,
Running nose ,
Cough is associated with yellowish color phlegm or sometimes dark in color,
An old case of sinus problem.
Amoxycillin , lecoceterizine and cough syrup ( reswas) are not working .
When patient with these symptoms visit my clinic I usually advise them to take monteleukast+ bambuterole tablet once or twice in day till complete cure .
If sore throat is there I advise them to take levofloxacin 750 mg once in day for 5 days .
I also advise my patient to avoid contact with mite , dust , pollen , mold , sudden change in temperature , fine dusting powder , hay . Because these are predisposing factors causing sinus problem and allergy ( as you may have these symptoms due to asthmatic allergic bronchitis ) .
Hot coffee and steam inhalation also act as bronchodilators .
All these symptoms are due to bronchoconstriction caused by these predisposing factors.
Since these drugs are prescription drugs so please consult a physician and take a prescription.
Hope this information will be helpful for you.
