Hello
As you mentioned that you are taking UNICARBAZAN ( diethylcarbazine + chlorpheniramine maleate) as this is most potent drug for tropical eosinophilia and in allergy including asthmatic allergic bronchitis ( as may be in your case ).
You are also taking montelukast + levoceterizine ( bot are most potent antihistamine ) .
This is right that you got relief with these drugs but not cure.
When such type of patient visit ( as all these symptoms may be due to bronchospasm caused by some allergens in your case )I usually prescribe only MONTELUKAST+BAMBUTEROLE once or twice in day .
Usually patient respond at once and get complete relief in cough .
Whenever cough recurs take again this tablet , and stop when complete cure .
Hot coffee and steam inhalation also proved relief .
Hope this will help you.
