How Can Cold And Dry Cough Be Treated?

I have had a cough for over 2 months. It seemed to start out with a cold but now is just a dry cough. I cough so hard that my vision goes dark and a few times even blacked out. It is followed by terrible pain in the back of my head for about 3 to 4 seconds. Been to a doctor 3 times. Still no diagnosis.

Hello,

A cough for more than one month should be tested for tuberculosis (TB). First, you go to nearby tuberculosis center and investigate for tuberculosis. Generally in tuberculosis during coughing sputum comes out. It may be bloodstained. For a dry cough,
1. Salted warm water gargles three times a day.
2. Turmeric powder in one glass of milk.
This two things will decrease inflammation and relieves discomfort.
3. Dextromethorphan syrup three times should be taken.
4. If you have already tried this and still suffering from a cough. You Should try salbutamol metered-dose inhaler.


Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Divyesh Sondarva
