Question

I've been dealing with this cough since December 31st. It started with a sore throat and then turned into a cough and later came the colds. The cold has mellowed out now, but this persistent cough is bothering me. It feels like there are tiny hairs or dust particles stuck in my throat, and it's rough and dry, but not much phlegm. I've been taking Mucobron Forte capsules and they help a bit, but the cough's not gone yet and it's been 3 days. Should I keep taking them or maybe switch to Fluimucil? What do you think?

Question

My friend has been dealing with this annoying barking cough for a while now. She's already on cough syrup and doing saltwater gargles, but nothing seems to help. It just keeps coming back and barking every time. Her chest X-ray didnt show anything unusual either. What do you think should be her next move? Any advice would be appreciated.

Question

My mom, who's 56, tested positive for COVID two weeks ago. Luckily, she's not showing most symptoms anymore, but we're worried because her dry cough just won't go away. It's been bothering her for two weeks now. Could you recommend a good cough syrup or any advice on what might help?
