Patient Question
Hello Doctor,
Is it common to have a dry cough persisting for more than two weeks despite taking antibiotics? Do you notice it worsening when drinking cold liquids or inhaling dust? Moreover, does it occasionally lead to breathlessness and throat discomfort?

Hello,
Thank you for reaching out to Dr. Galen. Please find the below response to your query.
Your symptoms suggest you may be dealing with allergic rhinitis or rhinosinusitis. Identifying and avoiding triggers like cold and dust is key. Additionally, incorporating regular steam inhalation, at least twice daily, into your routine can provide relief.
