Persistent Coughing: Seeking Effective Medical Treatment
I have been coughing for the last 20 days but it is not getting better. I consulted a doctor but the doctor checked me with a stethoscope and told me that my chest is clear. Before this he gave me Biopod CV, Cicof D and Wellkast medicines. But when I did not get relief and the course of medicines was over, he gave me Bilast M and Rabeprazole 40mg. It has been 10 days since I started taking the medicine but still I am not getting relief. Please suggest me which medicine should I take so that I get complete relief.

You seem troubled by a stubborn cough lasting over 3 weeks. It's wise to visit a pulmonologist for an evaluation. Allergies, asthma, or infections often cause lingering coughs. Since medications haven't helped much, tests like X-rays may identify the source and proper treatment. Don't ignore this prolonged issue; consult your physician promptly.
