A persistent dry cough that is not improving may be related to conditions such as Bronchitis, Allergic Cough, or throat and airway irritation. Medicines like Ascoril D Plus Syrup, Monticope Tablet, and nebulization are commonly used to control cough and airway inflammation, but sometimes it may take a few days to show improvement. You can also try drinking warm fluids, taking steam inhalation, and avoiding dust, smoke, and cold foods. If the cough continues for more than 2-3 weeks or worsens, revisit your doctor for further evaluation to identify the exact cause and adjust the treatment.

Make sure to rest, drink plenty of fluids, and take paracetamol to help with fever and discomfort. Using a humidifier or inhaling steam can soothe your dry cough. If your symptoms worsen or last more than a week, please see a doctor for proper evaluation and treatment.
