If you have had a severe cough for 3 days and prefer a tablet instead of syrup, the right medicine depends on the type of cough. Hence, consult your doctor for diagnosis and appropriate medicine. Drink plenty of warm fluids, avoid cold drinks, and do steam inhalation twice a day.

For your cough, consider the following:
Over-the-counter tablets:a. For a dry cough, dextromethorphan can help suppress it.b. For a productive cough, guaifenesin can help loosen mucus.
Consultation:
- If your cough is severe, persistent, or accompanied by symptoms like fever or chest pain, consult a healthcare provider.
Avoid self-medicating with antibiotics:
- Coughs are often viral and do not require antibiotics unless prescribed.
Non-medication measures:
- Stay hydrated, use a humidifier, and rest.
Check with a pharmacist or doctor to choose the right tablet for your symptoms.
