I am a diabetic patient and have been suffering from a severe cough for the past four months. My doctor prescribed Benz Pearls Capsule, which helps while I am taking it, but the cough returns once I finish the medicine. What should I do?
Benz Pearls Capsule (Benzonatate) only suppresses the cough and does not treat the underlying cause, which may be an allergy, asthma, acid reflux, infection, or a lung condition. Since your cough has lasted for four months, you should consult your doctor for a chest X-ray, blood tests, and possibly a lung function test to find the exact cause. Treatment should focus on the cause to prevent the cough from returning.
