Hi,
I understand your concern.
Your cough seems to be allergic in origin, secondarily infected by bacterias.
- To get rid of the cough I feel the extent of infection,/ bacterial sensitivity to antibiotics should be known ( physical examination by a physician, Blood counts- TLC/ DLC, Xray chest, sputum culture & sensitivity test ) & then a full course of antibiotic so as to remove bacterial infection( indicated by excessive cough/yellow sputum)/ Tab. Diethylcarbamazine ( according to blood cahnges0 cough syrup , Montek lc should be given for sufficient days.
- Allergens recognized & avoided/ desensatized.for prevention in future.
- avoid cold/ sour things/ exposure to allergens
- hot saline gargles / vapor inhalaton.
- drinking warm water
With proper diagnosis/ sufficient treatment/ self care the cough can be got rid of.
Thanks.
