Question

I've had this cough for about 45 days now and didn't really think much of it at first. I assumed it was just a regular cough, but today it started hurting on the right side of my chest when I cough. I'm using dry cough syrup at the moment, but should I be taking any other precautions? How can I avoid this chest pain when I cough?

I've tried different treatments allopathic, ayurvedic, and homeopathic, but nothing seems to provide relief. It gets particularly bad whenever I'm near an air conditioner. Could you help me understand what's going on or suggest anything else I should try?
