Hello dear. Welcome to Healthcaremagic. I read your query and I understand your concern. I think you should take even some medications to help with cough such deslorstadine or benadryl 10 mg twice daily orally. Also the following may help you feel better: 1Don t smoke. 2Suck on cough drops or hard candies to soothe a dry or sore throat. Cough drops won t stop your cough, but they may make your throat feel better. 3.Breathe moist air from a humidifier, a hot shower, or a sink filled with hot water. The heat and moisture can help keep mucus in your airways moist so you can cough it out easily 4..Use nonprescription medicine, such as acetaminophen, ibuprofen, oraspirin, to relieve fever and body aches. 5.Drink plenty of fluids so that you do not become dehydrated. Take care. Hope my answer was helpful, if you have any other questions I ll be glad to help you. Best regards, Dr Olgeta Xhufka ( general and family physician ).
