Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I have suffered from a dry cough for the past seven days. Constant cough. I have not taken any medication yet, but it will be comfortable if my dry cough clears up. Kindly help.

Answered by Dr. Sugreev Singh

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I read your query and can understand your concern.

It happens due to an infection in the upper respiratory tract, so it can be treated with antibiotics. Usually, bacterial infection like streptococcus causes such cough. So do not worry, I will prescribe you medicine, and it will be fine. Did you have any other symptoms like fever and all?

Revert with the answer to assist further.

Thank you and take care.

Regards.
