I'm dealing with a really annoying dry cough and a blocked nose that's making it impossible to sleep at night. I went to see a doctor, and they gave me some medicines like Doxin to take twice a day, along with some other tablets, but it feels like things are only getting worse. I'm not sure if the meds are supposed to work this way or if I should be worried. Could something else be going on?

I'm just wondering, how often should I take D-Cold Total in a day? I'm feeling a bit under the weather and not sure what's safe. Could you guide me on this?

You can take four times a day maximum, depending upon the severity of symptoms.

I'm experiencing loose motions and lower back pain, and it's making me a bit concerned. I've also got this tingling sensation in my toes and a slight headache that's been bothering me. To top it off, I haven't been able to sleep properly. I'm just wondering if all these symptoms are connected and what might be causing them. Can you help me figure out what's going on?

I've been having a really annoying dry cough lately and it's been keeping me up at night. I've tried drinking more fluids and using a humidifier, but it's not getting any better. Do you have any recommendations for a good cough syrup specifically for dry coughs? I'd love to know what might actually help soothe this!

You can use Grylinctus dx or Ascoril
