A dry cough triggered by cold air or air conditioning is often due to throat irritation or airway sensitivity. To reduce your symptoms, try to avoid direct exposure to cold air and keep your environment slightly warm and humid.

🏥 Self-Care Steps

• Use a humidifier or place a bowl of water near your AC to add moisture to the air.
• Drink warm fluids like herbal teas or warm water with honey and lemon to soothe your throat.
• Avoid smoking, strong perfumes, or other irritants that can worsen the cough.

💊 Medication Information

You may consider using cough lozenges such as those containing dextromethorphan, like Alex Cough Ginger Lemon Lozenges, which can help suppress the cough reflex and soothe throat irritation. However, these should be used as directed and only if you have no allergies to the ingredients.

🩺 When to See a Doctor

If your cough persists beyond two weeks, worsens, or is accompanied by symptoms like fever, difficulty breathing, or chest pain, please consult a pulmonologist (lung specialist) for a thorough evaluation.
