Hello,
Thank you for the post on HCM.
I have reviewed your history.
As you mentioned in the history you had upper respiratory tract infection , which has come down but still you are having cough and itching.
I would have advised
1.Take Cough Syrup like codeine
2. Oral Antihistaminics
3.Avoid cold and cold food along with oily food.
Thank you
