Hello dear,

Thank you for your contact to health care magic.

I read and understand your concern.

I am Dr Arun Tank answering your concern.

Yes, it seems to be allergic cough and durgs provided to you is also a right drug.

I advice you to look for the allergen causing allergy to you.

Definitive treatment for the condition is to avoid exposure to allergen.

Once allergen remains departed to you, there is no need to take the further treatment.

Prednisolone is the steroid and suppress the allergic reaction. But it should not be used for long time. For long time it may cause variety of side effects and should be given short gap between the treatment.

So in all avoid the allergic exposure and when needed take the prednisolone.

I will be happy to answer your further concern on bit.ly/DrArun.

Thank you,
Dr Arun Tank
