I've had a cough for about 56 days now. I've tried various syrups, but nothing seems to work. I've been using ventryl and kofnil syrup together. Is this combination safe for me?

I've had some cold symptoms like fever, sweats, chills, and a cough. Most of them have gone away, but my cough and chest pain are still there. The chest pain is only on one side and it feels like a burning sensation. Should I be worried about this?

I'm really concerned about something I read recently regarding pigeons and lung health. It mentioned that pigeons can cause lung disease, including bronchitis and lung infections. Could you explain how this happens? Do pigeons release some kind of acid that's harmful to us when we breathe in? I'm just trying to understand why this might trigger such issues with our lungs.

Yes,avoid contact with the pigeons.

I've been dealing with this annoying dry cough ever since I had a viral fever about a month ago. The cold was gone in about a week, but the cough is still sticking around. It's weird because some days it's just here and there, but other days it's pretty frequent. I can't figure out what's triggering it. It's my first time having a cough linger for almost a month. Luckily, it doesn't bother me when I'm sleeping, but it kicks in when I'm eating or talking. Should I be worried about this, or do you think it'll just sort itself out?

take antibiotics and syrup ascoril
