Suggest Treatment For Persistent Cough

I came down with the flu at the beginning of last month. Even though it s gone, I still have an irritating cough that won t go away. Started off coughing up phlegm but now it s just a dry cough. Have tried everything to get rid of it. Robitussin. Mucix DM pills, Mucix DM medicine, Vic vapor rub, Nyquil, Dayquil. Yet it still is on my chest.Yours sincerely Lawrence Emanuel

Dr. Hanif warmly welcomes you!

Thanks for consulting at my virtual clinic HCM. I have carefully worked through your case, and can well realize your health worries. Being your physician, I want to assure, I will take care all of your medical concerns.


If I was your treating physician I would have prescribed you with Azithromycin, Ebastine and Ibuprofen and of course a follow up after a week. Add some good over the counter antitussive syrup to relieve the cough.


Do gargles with Listerine mouthwash, change your toothbrush, and keep away from spicy, fried and junk foods. No beverages, alcohol, cigarettes & energy drinks. Drink water that is at normal room temperature.
