Dry cough
Hello.I've just gotten over a bout of flu.But now I'm left with a dry irritating cough.Sometimes I cough up phlegm. It's very painful. What can I do to alleviate the pain and make the cough go away?
CyberDoc
Coughing, if there is no infection left anymore, the best would be to ask your doctor to prescribe you asthma medicine like Seretide®. This will open your lungs and suppress the inflammation that causes the chronic cough. It’s fairly expensive, but it’s very effective. Good luck.
