Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

You have not given duration and onset history of your problem. possibly it may be due to acute/chronic bronchitis, bronchial asthma or pneumonia. Stay away from cold beverages and water. Use water vaporizer as many times as possible. Take Ascaril syrup 2 times daily for 7 days. If the symptoms persist you need to consult a pulmonolgist. Who will take an X-ray and do bronchoscopy to exactly evaluate your condition and impart further treatment.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
