What should I do if my severe dry cough has lasted for a month despite taking erythromycin for a week and using Ascoril D plus cough syrup for two to three weeks?
Since your cough has lasted for a month, it is important to stop these medications and see a doctor for a proper evaluation. A chronic dry cough can have several non-bacterial causes, such as cough-variant asthma, acid reflux, or allergies, which antibiotics will not cure. A healthcare provider can listen to your lungs and may recommend a chest X-ray to find the exact cause. In the meantime, try to stay well-hydrated with warm fluids to soothe your throat.
