Also cough syrup which contains cpm and codein for 10 days and another cough syrup which contains phenylephrine and dextromethorphan and cpm for 3 days. Along with this syrup ent doctor gave me antibiotics and predmet 8 mg tablet { methylprednisolone} for 5 days along with antihistamine. Still my dry cough won't going away. I have taken allergy test also which comes normal in report and chest xray also normal. There is no any other symptoms other than cough. Sometimes throat irritation comes. What can I do now? I am fed up with this cough.

Cough could be due to acid reflux. � �take hot saline gargles atleast 5 - 6 times a day, it will help to clear the throat .� steam inhalation also helps to clear respiratory passages.� sprinkling eucalyptus oil on the clothes and pillows while sleeping will help.� elevating the upper body and head by propping up with 2 - 3 pillows at night will help to relieve post nasal drip which worsens dry cough. �hot soup infused with ginger, tulsi, pepper should be taken.� avoid cold food. Eat fresh homemade steaming hot food.�take lots of fluids - water, soups, dal ka paani� take some proton pump inhibitors and antacid syrup.
