Patient concerns

If the above measures have not helped you need to get yourself checked up in a clinic to examine your throat and respiratory system

I am suffering from heavy coughing at night somehow from 3 weeks. During starting 2-3 days it was a very sore throat, i was not able to speak even.While coughing Initially it is a dry cough but after coughing sometime, it comes with mucus. It stops automatically when I vomit or after 10-15 mins. Or after it becomes chronic. I have taken azithromycin 6 tabs. And also taken fynal oz, dilosyn syrup and doxomax-12tabs.each after consulting a doctor. Doctor told it is a throat infection. During the course of fynal oz and doxomax, I felt okay. But after the course i.e from yesterday, the cough is back. I don't understand the possible cause. I am a smoker since 2 years (not heavy smoker, generally 2-3 cigarettes/day). Bt since the problem started, I have quit smoking.

Dr. Shubhra Chandhan Pradhan

It can be allergic cough or asthma or acid reflux. Try antihistamine and ppi.

Cold and nasal block from 2 to 3 days and now followed by dry cough. Whereas the clod and nasal block has reduced. Cough will be heavy in closed room under A/c but no cough while walking / jogging / climbing stairs. What to do ? Shall I use Ambrolite D ?

Dr. Shubhra Chandhan Pradhan

ENT

Don't use it, it may be infective cough. Ambrolyte D will suppress your cough and it will accumulate in chest. This is good in dry cough
