Hi XXXXXXX,

Thanks for posting your query.

Dry cough can be due to various lung issues and it requires a detailed physical examination and investigations as Chest X XXXXXXX Blood tests to rule out the exact cause so that appropriate treatment can be started soon.

Considering her age she requires an immediate evaluation as the cough has been present since long.

You can visit Fortis Hospitals and XXXXXXX Dr XXXXXXX Mehta who is a good Pulmonologist or Dr. XXXXXXX XXXXXXX in Apollo Clinic Koramangla.

You can also visit this link WWW.WWWW.WW where the patients have given reviews regarding the doctors.

Hope this answers your query.I will be available for follow up if any.
