How to treat cough?
Patient: I have developed a very violent cough which occurs several times a day and causes me to choke and vomit in order to clear the persistent irritation. No drinks, sweets or cough mixture can stop it. It only stops when I choke or vomit. I have experienced this several times this year and have been treated by antibiotics, but it keeps reoccurring. Doctor: HI,    I understand your concern.    repeated cough  suggests possibility of-    - Allergic origin- asthmatic bronchitis / toncilar involvement.,     - the infecting organism is resistant to the antibiotics given,     - Diabetes with uncontrolled blood sugar     To manage you need few investigations like CBC/ sputum culture & sensitivity/ X ray chest/ blood glucose ( fasting & post meal ).The treatment planned  by a chest specialist,in light of these results would help you.     A healthy life style with a balanced diet/  regular respiratory exercises & physical exercises/avoiding exposure to allergens is essential along with the treatment advised.    Thanks.
