Hello doctor, I am suffering from cough. It is not regular, but in the whole day, I might cough twice or thrice. It is not too harsh but my cough is dry, and there is no mucus in it. No fever, chest pain, fatigue or shortness of breath. I had a very bad cough a few days ago. And today when I consumed rice and curd it kind of triggered my cough or when I am in a dusty place or smoking. I just smoked twice in this month and during the time of my cough. I have quit smoking. I am 25 years old and taking Codistar and Allegro 120. It is working good. Just because I ate curd and rice, it started.
Hi. It seems you have a chronic dry cough which is triggered by allergens and environmental irritants like smoke. This seems to be a dry cough associated with post-nasal drip. Do you have any sinus issues or allergic rhinitis or family history of asthma? What you can do is inhale steam with Menthol three times a day. Also, drink a mixture of lime and honey mixed with warm water every day. Continue this for a week and see if there is any improvement. Also, you can try medications namely, tablet Cetirizine 10 mg once daily for five to seven days. Do not take Allegro if you take Cetirizine. In fact, Allegro itself causes dry cough.
