I've been dealing with a persistent cough for almost three months now. Whenever I take Deriphyllin 150mg and Cetrizine, it seems to help for about 20 hours, but then the cough comes back at night. What do you think I should do?

It sounds like your cough may be persistent, possibly due to an underlying issue like allergies or respiratory inflammation. I recommend consulting your doctor for further evaluation and possibly adjusting your treatment plan, as the relief youre experiencing may be temporary.
