How Can Chronic Cough And Breathing Difficulty Be Treated?
I m 56yrs/female, diabetic, taking insulin. Had cardiac stenting and taking medication for it. For the past 45days,I m having unproductive cough, intensity increases on lying down and in night. I take pan with home made masala for past 20 years. Sometimes I feel breathless. I already had a course of augmentin and taking montek lc. Yet the cough is not subsiding. My cbct report shows marginal increases in eosinophil level. The physician an suggests DEC tablets three times a day for 21 days, which I m yet to start. Kindly suggest me a remedy as I m really suffering. Thanking you

If eosinophils are high you can take DEC for 21 days
As you are cardiac patient and having cough, better to take an ECG and consult your treating cardiologist as it can be sue to some cardiac drugs or may be some under lying heart disease.
