My cough is triggered by cigarette smoke and dust. How can I stop it?

Hi doctor,

I have had a bit of a cough for several days already, but I do not have yellowish phlegm; instead, clear one. The smoke of a cigarette always triggers my cough or if someone near me is smoking. Also, I think my cough is caused by too much heat in terms of weather which brings specks of dust, or when cooking something (especially when someone is sauteing). I took a tablet Cetirizine to stop my coughing, but it is still present, especially at night. Can you please tell me what I shall do to stop my coughing and feel better? Thank you.

Can you take your diabetes medicines along with Benadryl syrup?

Hello doctor,

My father had two pieces of large clams last night, and he experienced a food allergy to them. He complained about tingling sensation and swelling of his eyes. I gave him one tablet of Co-Altria Ped 5 mg at night. He is 63 years old and diabetic for a year. He uses Insulin injection, Lantus SoloStar 2 tsp for maintenance, and takes Janumet 50 mg/ 500 mg daily in the morning and at night. This morning, he still had swollen eyes and no other symptoms. I gave him Benadryl syrup (antihistamine). Can he still take his daily maintenance medications for his diabetes?

Thank you.
