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?

I'm a 20-year-old student and I've been dealing with bronchitis for the past 10 years. Every April, I struggle with breathlessness and a lot of mucus in my chest, it gets pretty congested. I don't eat anything that would increase mucus, just stick to simple homemade foods, but it keeps happening. I use a nebulizer to help out, but I'm worried if this is something I'm going to have to deal with for life. Do you know if there's any way to cure this or make it better?

yes it is for years till the symptoms cure
