My spouse has had a dry cough for the past two months. It's not constant or really severe, but it's been lingering for a while now. It all started with a fever and wet cough for two days, but now it's just a dry cough. He's been on medication for a week, and although its improved a bit, it hasn't completely gone away. Oddly enough, he sometimes starts coughing after drinking water. I'm really hoping to find a permanent solution to this. Could you help us figure out what might be going on?

I'm dealing with a cough problem for the past 15 days. I think it started because I've been sleeping in front of a cooler, and now it feels like the cough is stuck in my throat and chest. I've tried drinking turmeric milk, eating chana, having Honitus, and even using ginger and honey, but nothing seems to be helping. The cough just isn't coming out, and now my throat is really starting to hurt. What should I do?
take warm water.

I'm really worried about my friend who's only 23. Last year she suddenly started coughing up blood, and after all the tests, the X-ray wasn't promising. She consulted Dr. Dinesh, who's a chest specialist, and started on a TB treatment. She finished her TB course just last month, but this morning, she started coughing up blood again. What should we do for her?
It sounds like the patient is experiencing recurrent bleeding after completing TB treatment. Given her history, it's crucial to reassess her condition with further investigations, such as a chest X-ray or sputum test, to rule out any complications or relapse of TB. Immediate consultation with a specialist is recommended for a tailored treatment plan.
