Hi,

Let me share my experience also.

Probably it will help you in finding solution to it.

I too got dry cough for 15 days. Cough is so horrible that I can't even sleep in night times. Especially it was increasing during night times.

I will explain the conditions under which I got cough. Though I'm married As my wife is away I took out side food for 10 days for first time. Especially irregular timings during this 10 days and I skipped food for few times. And unfortunately I took more fried rices etc instead of normal food.

Then fever has come. Fever is gone within 3 days but cough didn't. I met doctor He gave medicine to control acidity and cough syrup. He advised it for 3 days. I did that for 3 days , and as there is no progress I continued same medicine for 5 days. But no improvment.

I changed doctor, this guy also given medicine for acidity problem and cough syrup, antibiotic along with B-complex tablets. I feared that it may be asthama or TB as it is continued for 2 weeks. I informed same to doctor. Without any medical tests just by observing with stethescope doctor advised me to continue this medicine(cough syrup + cough tablet+ acidity tablet+anti biotic+ B-complex) for 5 days. And adviced me to met him after 5 days.

Within 5 days I saw improvement. During these five days I took healthy(homely) and nutritious food. That's it. Cough is gone. I suffered with cough for around 3 weeks. It left me in 3rd week.

Finally I will suggest you to check your food habits. Take food at regular timings, so you can control acidity. Avoid oily food.

Make sure you are also taking antibiotic with cough tablets(plus cough syrup) along with tablets to control acidity( If you too had irregular food timings). and B-complex tablets if you feel weak. Don't try your own medicine & consult doctor. You can still contiue home based medicine.

Take nutriousious food. Avoid cold water and drink lookwarm water.

If you have smoking habit case will be different. I don't smoke.

purchase heper sulpha 200 - quantity 1 drachm/10 gms.

take 4 t.d.s. for 3 days.

medicine to be dissolved on/under ur tongue only and not to be swallowed, it being a homoeo medicine, don't eat/drink anything 10 minutes before and 10 minutes after medication..

.u may be alright in a couple of days. all the best to u.

Try:-

Put a spoon of Honey on you palm. Put a pinch of black peeper powder on it and suck it before going to bed. Try this for 4-5 days. See the result.

I hope it will cure you.

Otherwise you have to visit a DOTS centre for TB tests.
