I'm dealing with a dry cough that's been going on for about three weeks now, but it's not there all the time. I've been taking amrutarishta twice a day and calcimax forte for vitamin D each day, and also getting about 15-20 minutes of sunlight daily. I had a chest x-ray, phlegm test, blood test, and thyroid test, and everything came back normal. Could you recommend something to help with this cough?

Can you help me understand if theres a connection or if theres something else going on?

I've been having this coughing issue for a few months now, and I noticed that whenever I take Montair LC, the cough stops but only for two days. Then it comes back, and I find myself needing to take the medicine again for some temporary relief. I'm getting a bit concerned and wondering why this is happening. Is it normal for the relief to be so short-lived, or should I be thinking about seeing a doctor for a more permanent solution?

That could be due to allergy consume warm foods and identify the triggering factor and avoid it
