What Is The Treatment Of Dry Cough ?

I have been sick since Sunday. Started out with mild cough then body aches/fever on Monday.

Fever broke Tues morning and now I just have this cough i can't get rid of. It is a dry/annoying cough

that doesn't seem to be bringing anything up. If I try to take a deep breath I start coughing alot. I have

been taking the strongest muccinex dm but doesn't seem to be helping. Bronchitis?

See the post- infective cough is very annoying, and it usually lasts over a month. But don't worry try some logenges like strepils or Vicks or cherikoff. Swallowing your own saliva may also help sometimes. You don't need further antibiotics or mucolytics if the course has been completed. Honey and blackpepper also helps in these situations.
