I'm dealing with a dry cough that's been going on for about three weeks now, but it's not there all the time. I've been taking amrutarishta twice a day and calcimax forte for vitamin D each day, and also getting about 15-20 minutes of sunlight daily. I had a chest x-ray, phlegm test, blood test, and thyroid test, and everything came back normal. Could you recommend something to help with this cough?

A chest x-ray repeat, complete blood test and lung function tests is advised to the patient.
