Question : I am having a dry cough. Usually I guess it's because of the change in weather here in XXXXXXX What should I do? I have bought a cough syrup from my home in XXXXXXX when I was coming to XXXXXXX but haven't taken it because it's getting cured when I am having some cough drops like Vikks/Halls. Kindly consult on the same.
