Question 1

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?

Accepted Answer

Continue those medicines for a week and rest your throat until you recover,sip hot water and dosalt water gargling for a better result.

Question 2

I've been dealing with a dry cough for the past couple of weeks and it's really starting to worry me. Initially, I had a viral fever about three weeks ago and took some medication which seemed to work, but this cough just won't go away. I tried using Tasq DX syrup for a week but it didn't help, so I switched to Green linctus BM syrup for another week and it hasn't gotten better  in fact, it seems to be getting worse. Could you please help me figure out what's going on and what I should do next?

Question 3

I'm a 33-year-old guy and I've been dealing with a cough for the past 20 days. Along with the cough, I'm noticing yellow-light green mucus. I've been using whey protein for about a month since I started working out at the gym, and I'm wondering if it might be the reason for my issues. I stopped using it three days ago, but the cough hasn't gone away. I also used to eat raw spinach and broccoli but I've quit those too. My cough tends to worsen when I'm lying down to sleep, and it feels like my chest really fills up with mucus, especially early in the morning. Can you help me figure out what's going on?
