Having this dry cough for over a week now and I remember that Dr. Srinath Karthick recommended LUPITUS syrup and BUDATE 200 Lupihaler capsules a year back. I still have some of the syrup and started taking it again, but it seems I really need those BUDATE 200 capsules to fully get better. The problem is they're not available in the market now. Could you suggest any alternative medicine I could try? I'm really hoping to kick this cough soon!

I've had this really bad cough for a week now, and it's not going away even after seeing an ENT. There's a lot of phlegm with it, and I've also got a cold. What could be going on? Should I be doing something different, or is there anything else I can try to feel better?
Drink plenty of water,eat soft foods like cooked cereal, mashed potatoes, soft fruits, yogurt and soft-cooked eggs...give adequate rest to your body..Avoid spicy foods or acidic foods.

I'm struggling a lot with my recent diagnosis of pulmonary fibrosis. I've got this stubborn cough that just won't go away, I can't seem to sleep well at night, and I keep running a low-grade fever. It's really frustrating because I can't taste food properlyeverything has this weird bitter taste. Since I know there's no cure for pulmonary fibrosis, I'm really hoping to find ways to manage these symptoms and get some relief. Could you please guide me on what steps I might take?
there's a treatment for fibrosis, kindly refer to physician
