Question 1

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?
