Why is my dry cough and throat irritation not completely cured after a week, even though Ascoril D and warm lemon honey water only provide temporary relief?
It is very common for a dry cough and throat irritation to last two to three weeks after a viral infection. This happens because your airways remain highly sensitive and inflamed, even after the virus is clearing. Medicines like Ascoril D (which contains a cough suppressant and antihistamine) and warm honey-lemon water soothe the throat temporarily but cannot instantly heal this hypersensitive airway lining. Please stay well-hydrated, continue resting, and use a humidifier. If your cough persists beyond three weeks, or if you develop shortness of breath, please consult a doctor.
