I have been coughing for a long time now. It comes and goes. my doctor had prescribed me twice prednisone (short term) and tessalon. at first the cough goes away and after a few weeks, it comes back. it is so embarrassing, how can you help me on this?

Good Morning ,

such recurring coughs are due to allergy

you could do some prevent measures for the allergy namely
1. stay away from dust,smoke,fumes
2.bed room to be dust free , no woollen carpets , no woollen curtains, minimal
furniture, AC/Fan to be cleaned, pets not be allowed in to the bed room.
3. Bed linen should be washed in a 80 degrees celsius washing cycle.
3.while cleaning and ducting always wear a mask

kindly follow all these for a period of 3 months you will see a great change.
20 mins of aerobic activity everyday is very helpful for allergy.

have a great day
Thank you
