I got sick in december with just the common cold. Its been four months and I still have a cough that is worse at nights. It is mostly a dry cough but can sometimes be a wet cough. Sometimes it disappears for a couple days but always seems to come back. Also I sometimes get a sharp pain in the left side of my chest. The pain usually only lasts for a couple minutes at most ten. None of this truly worries me I would just like it to go away.
Respected user, thanks for using Chat Doctor.come have evaluated your query thoroughly.* This is due to underlying lung infection.* As it is for 4 - 5 months duration, I would recommend consulting once at least your doctor for physical examination and get proper treatment in form of antibiotics, decongestants, bronchodilators, analgesics, cough syrup for better recovery.* Suggestions till then - Plenty of liquids with balanced nutritious diet to combat infection - Maintain room temperature - Inhalation with vapors of boiled water preferably added tincture Benson and head covered with towel for 2 times a day - Gargles with salted lukewarm water and added peppermint oil 3 times - Tulsa, honey, turmeric in boiled milk are excellent herbal care takers - Avoid smoking or alcohol strictly - Avoid exposure to excess cold, dusty environments - Use face mask liberally - Regular basis deep breathing exercises with YOGA Hope this will help you. Welcome for any further doubts. Wishing you fine recovery from the same. Regards.
