I've had an allergy cough for the past fifteen days. I've taken a lot of medication, but it hasn't helped. Could you please recommend the best medication to take as soon as possible?

A 15-day cough could be caused by an allergy, a viral infection, nasal discharge, asthma, acidity, or irritation from smoke and dust. It is crucial to see a doctor instead of continuing self-medication because many medications have not worked. In the interim, try steam inhalation, stay away from cold foods, dust, smoke, and strong perfumes, and drink warm water. Some patients may benefit from simple anti-allergy medications, but the best course of action depends on the true reason of the cough. If you get fever, wheezing, chest pain, breathing difficulties, blood in your sputum, or weight loss, get medical help as soon as possible.

A sudden fever with cough and cold may be due to a viral infection. Rest, stay hydrated, take paracetamol for fever, and monitor symptoms. Consult a doctor if the fever persists, breathing becomes difficult, or symptoms worsen.

A dry cough with pain can be due to throat irritation, a viral infection, or muscle strain from repeated coughing. Rest your voice, drink warm fluids, and consult a doctor if the pain or cough persists or worsens.

My child has a cold and cough for 5 days. After giving him Relent and Brozeet LS, his cough worsens at night. What can I do?
Dr. S Aneela
M. Pharm (Pharmacology)., PhD
If your child's cough worsens at night despite Relent and Brozeet LS, it may indicate airway irritation or progression of an infection. Keep him hydrated, use a humidifier, elevate his head while sleeping, and consult the doctor for possible medication adjustment.
