Question 1

I'm a 23-year-old guy and I've been dealing with a dry cough for over two weeks now, and I'm really not sure what I should do next. For the last five days, I've been taking a spoon of Benadryl before bed, and while it seems to help with the cough for the first half of the next day, it comes back around 3 PM. I've also tried putting eucalyptus oil and Vicks on my chest at night, but I haven't really noticed much of a difference.

Just recently, my mom started giving me this homemade herbal mix that I think has ginger and honey, along with turmeric milk, and it seems to be helping somewhat. Generally, I'm pretty active and into sports and running, and I haven't felt any drop in my energy or stamina because of the cough. It's just really starting to get on my nerves and I'm getting a bit worried. Could you share any ideas or solutions for what's going on with me?

Accepted Answer

It's good to hear that the homemade herbs mixture with ginger, honey, and turmeric milk is providing some relief. To further address your dry cough, I recommend trying Robitussin DM (Dextromethorphan and Guaifenesin) syrup. You can take 10ml of Robitussin DM every 4-6 hours as needed to suppress the cough and help loosen mucus. Additionally, you can continue with the Benadryl at night for its antitussive effects. Make sure to stay hydrated, get plenty of rest, and avoid irritants such as smoke or strong odors. If your symptoms persist or worsen, it would be advisable to consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.

Question 2

I've been experiencing this sharp pain in my chest when I take a really deep breath, and it's kind of worrying me. What's weird is that sometimes at night, the pain shows up even when I'm not breathing deeply. It's pretty painful, and I'm just wondering what might be causing this. Could it be something serious, or is it just some kind of normal thing that happens?
