I have had a cough for 25 days and have tried Panthor DX Syrup, Tuspel cough syrup, Dmr Syrup, DMR 20 Tablet, and Roxid-150 Tablet without much improvement. Can you prescribe something for me?

As your cough has lasted 25 days and the medicines you have tried have not been effective, it is not advisable to take additional medication on your own. A persistent cough may indicate an underlying infection, allergy, asthma, or another lung condition. Please consult a doctor to determine the exact cause and receive appropriate treatment for lasting relief.

I have had a cough for five days. What medicines can I take to treat it?

A five-day cough is very common and usually caused by a mild viral infection that resolves on its own. For a dry, tickly cough, a cough suppressant like dextromethorphan can help quiet the cough. For a wet cough with phlegm, an expectorant like guaifenesin will help loosen the mucus. Additionally, staying well-hydrated, drinking warm liquids, and taking honey can greatly soothe your throat. There is no need to worry, as this is a normal recovery timeframe. However, please consult a doctor if you experience shortness of breath, high fever, chest pain, or if the cough persists beyond two weeks.

My ear becomes blocked during flights when I have a cold. I currently have a slight cold and am using Montek LC Tablet, Otrivin nasal spray, and Tossex DMR cough syrup. What can I do to avoid this problem?

To prevent ear blockage, use your nasal spray about 30 minutes before take off and landing, and try chewing gum to help your ears adjust to the pressure. Keep yourself well hydrated and stay awake during landing so you can actively clear your ears while you have a cold. If symptoms are severe, it is better to postpone travel and consult your doctor.
