Suggest Treatment For Persistent Coughs And Allergy
My husband and I have been ill for the last 3 weeks . Both of our Dr. diagnosed us having seasonal allergies which I have never had but my husband has. Our coughs are similar and once it starts it is uncontrollable. Not sleeping due to cough and having to blow our noses at length.

Hi,
It is important to get eosinophil count to be done and if possible then antibody tests are done to confirm the allergy.
When confirmed, please try and discuss how to avoid any particular allergy-causing agent. You can take immunomodulator medicines to avoid allergies.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr Vivek Chail, Radiologist
