Respected user , hi
Thanks for using Healthcaremagic.com
I have evaluated your query thoroughly .
* Severe
cough indicates level of infection ( bacterial or viral ) is more ,
I would strongly recommend to consult a doctor , get examined and
cure early as you will need
- proper antibiotics -
bronchodilator medicines - decongestants
all of which may not be covered from OTC cough syrups .
* Suggestions till then
- Gargles with salted lukewarm water and added peppermint oil 3 times
a day
- Avoid exposure to dusty environments ( if needed use face mask )
- No
smoking - Avoid chilled beverages , high sugar , spicy , oily items in food
- Deep breathing exercises ,
YOGA help a lot
Hope this clears your query .
