I'm sorry to hear about the persistent dry cough. A dry cough lasting for two months, especially at night, can be quite uncomfortable. Since your doctor mentioned dust as a possible cause, it suggests an allergic or irritant-related cough.
Here are some steps you can consider:
Since the cough has persisted for two months, it is important to follow up with a respiratory specialist (pulmonologist) to rule out other causes such as asthma, allergic rhinitis, or other lung conditions. They may recommend further evaluation or treatment tailored to her condition.
If symptoms worsen or new symptoms like breathlessness, fever, or chest pain develop, seek medical attention promptly.To narrow down potential causes, we will need some more information.Please enter your age.
