What Causes Chronic Dry Cough?

I have been having dry cough for the last ten days or so and with doctor's treatment it is almost under control. But I did get CBC done and found that eisionophilia count has come to 8 while normal range is 4. Can I take hetrazan and if so how many times a day for how many days. I am asthmatic and as maintenance I use nebulisation (Duolin) twice a day. Othewise I am quite fit and lead a normal life.

HI
No need to take Hetrazan
Normal eosinophill count is up to 6 percent
Yours is slight high
It may be due to allergic condition Eg.asthma and due to worms
If I were your doctor I would prescribe you albendazole only one 400 mg tablet once and cetrizine daily for few days

I hope this will help.
