Suggest Treatment For Chronic Dry Cough

I am a 32 Yrs old male. I have been suffering from chronic dry cough which occurs periodically specially whenever i am exposed to chilled water or after excercise for 7 years.Earlier whenever i used to take some antibiotic plus cough syrup it was going off but this month when again it started after taking the chilled water it is not going even after taking medications for more than ten days. The doctor has prescribed me brochodilator, antibiotic, prednisolone

Hi thanks for contacting HCM...

Noted you have here allergic cough....
Allergen or by cold you can have histamin like mediator release and they can lead congestive symptom...

This time you can have bronchitis....
Chest x ray useful for it...
Bronchodilator and antibiotic given...
Here you might have inflammatory swelling in respi tract so steroid given for it .....

If living in cold you can use humidifier...
Avoid smoking.....
Steam inhalation helpful in decongestion.
Avoid excess spicy and fried food....

Take drugs for prescribed duration...

You can boil milk and add 2 garlic cloves in it ....cool it and consumed .....It will help in relieving congestion...

If still no benefit I would like to investigate with spirometry for pulmonary function test.....

Take care

Hope your concern solved....
