Your cough lasting 1.5 weeks even after Viscodyne, Clavam 625, and Montiair 10 may be due to post-viral irritation, allergy, or acid reflux. Try sleeping with your head elevated, using a steam bath or a humidifier, and avoiding cold air and irritants. If it continues or gets worse, consult a doctor for an inhaler or more tests.

I'm sorry to hear that your dry cough is persisting despite the medications you're taking. A dry cough lasting more than a week can be frustrating, especially when it worsens at night.

Here are some steps you can consider to help manage your nighttime cough:

  • Consult a Pulmonologist (lung specialist): Since your cough has lasted over 1.5 weeks and is not improving with current treatment (Viscodyne, Clavam 625 which is an antibiotic, and Montiair 10 which is an antihistamine and bronchodilator), a specialist can evaluate for other causes such as asthma, postnasal drip, acid reflux, or other respiratory conditions.

  • Avoid irritants: Keep your sleeping environment free from smoke, strong perfumes, or dust which can worsen cough.

  • Use a humidifier: Adding moisture to the air can soothe irritated airways and reduce coughing at night.

  • Elevate your head while sleeping: This can help reduce postnasal drip or acid reflux that may trigger coughing.

  • Stay hydrated: Drinking warm fluids like herbal teas or warm water with honey can soothe the throat.

  • Review medications: Sometimes cough persists due to side effects or incomplete treatment of underlying causes. Do not stop or change medications without doctorโ€™s advice.

Since you are already on antibiotics and other medications, it is important to have a thorough evaluation by a pulmonologist or an ENT (ear, nose, and throat) specialist to identify the exact cause and tailor treatment accordingly.

If you experience any worsening symptoms like difficulty breathing, high fever, or chest pain, seek immediate medical attention.

Please consult a specialist doctor soon for a detailed assessment and appropriate management.To narrow down potential causes, we will need some more information.Please tell me your age and gender. I understand that you have been suffering from a dry cough.
