I've been dealing with a persistent dry cough for about three months now. There's no cold or fever with it, but the coughing isn't constantjust enough that it's causing some pain in my throat. I'm not sure what's going on, and I'm a bit worried since it's been so long. Any advice on what might be causing this or steps I could take to feel better?
Persistent dry cough for more than 3 months can be due to various reasons such as postnasal drip, asthma, or acid reflux. To help alleviate your symptoms, you can try taking over-the-counter cough suppressants like Dextromethorphan. You can also consider using throat lozenges containing Benzocaine to help with the throat pain. Additionally, staying hydrated and using a humidifier can also provide relief. If your symptoms persist, it's important to consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.
