Since my one-month-long nighttime cough returns whenever I stop taking my prescribed medicines (Zifi, Monticop, BNC, and Bro-zeet syrup), should I get a second opinion from another doctor or continue taking these medications long-term?
It is completely reasonable and highly recommended to seek a second opinion, preferably from a pulmonologist. Taking medications like Zifi (an antibiotic), Monticop, and Bro-zeet syrup long-term without a clear diagnosis is not advisable. Since your cough returns when you stop them, it suggests an underlying issue like cough-variant asthma or allergies rather than a simple infection. A specialist can help identify the root cause and prescribe a safer, targeted treatment.
