Hi doctor, My wife is a lactating mother of 2 months old baby. Since one week she is suffering with bad dry cough. For past 2 days she is unable to sleep. For every 5 to 10 minutes she gets cough. We consulted a doctor and had medicine. But, still there is no relief. I attached the medicines that we have followed. Also had Ascoril-D syrup and Relent tablet. How long does it take to cure the dry cough? Will the prescribed medicine dry up the breast milk? Can cough medicine affect baby? We tried home remedies like honey, ginger and black pepper. After delivery my wife used to drink hot water only. None of the above remedies worked. None of them reduced the cough. Please advise us.
Hi. I went through your query and the prescription (attachment removed to protect patient identity). For further information consult a general medicine physician online -->
