Hi Dear,
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of chronic cough while having asthma which is due to persistence of infection and poor and compromised immunity of body. You seems to have granular laryngitis.
Need not to worry. I would suggest you to consult pulmonologist/ENT specialist once and get it examined. You should take antibiotics such as Levofloxacin or Azithromycin for 5-7 days. You should Chew a Vitamin C pellet. Take decongestants and mucolytic agents. You should avoid hot, sharp and spicy foods. Take cough expectorants. You should take anti inflammatory medication as well. You should use throat lozenges and go rinses with warm saline water. Take diet rich in vitamin B12. Avoid cold carbonated beverages. You should get blood test , throat swab test done. You should get an x ray of the chest and pulmonary function tests done as well to know the exact extent of infection and can start treatment accordingly.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
