I have been having a dry cough for the past 2 days. I am using Tossex DMR syrup, but the cough is continuing. What should I do for relief?

Asked by Female, 31 · 5 days ago

A dry cough for a short duration is often related to irritation of the throat or a mild infection. Even with syrup, it may take a few days for the cough to settle completely. Try taking warm drinks, staying hydrated, and avoiding triggers like dust, smoke, or cold air. Rest well and keep your throat from getting dry. If the cough does not ease or worsens, consult your doctor.
