Pulmonologist,  's  Response
Thanks for your question on Health Care Magic.
I can understand your concern.
In my opinion, in your case, possibility of lung Infection or bronchitis is more.
You are having chronic cough (cough since 2 months and not improving with standard medicines), and in both these conditions it is seen.
So better to consult pulmonologist and get done
1. Clinical examination of respiratory system
2. Chest x ray
3. PFT (Pulmonary Function Test).
Chest x ray is needed to rule out lung infection.
PFT is needed to rule out bronchitis.
You may need antibiotics, antihistamines inhaled bronchodilators and inhaled corticosteroid.
Don't worry, you will be alright.
But first diagnose yourself and then start appropriate treatment.
Hope I have solved your query.
Wish you good health. Thanks.
