I've been dealing with this persistent cough for several days now, and it just doesn't seem to be improving. I've tried using bisolvon cough forte, but it hasn't really helped. What else can I do to get some relief? Should I be worried about this?

Try doing salt water gargling twice daily and drink only warm water. If there is no relief then please consult a doctor who can examine you and advise accordingly.

I've been dealing with a really bad cough for over 15 days now and nothing seems to help. I've tried multiple treatments but no improvement. I recently had a baby through C-section and my overall condition feels weak. Could this cough be related to my surgery or recovery? What treatment would you recommend for someone in my situation?

USE COUGH SYRUP.
