[|Human|] Hello Sir, My father has facing problem of  cough (wet and dry) form last 4 to five years. He had taken treatment from some special doctors but he is not got any relief.(some Aurvedic medicine also).Please suggest solution or reference doctor of area Nagpur, Amravti, Akola or near by in Maharashtra.
[|AI|]  Hello, Thanks for writing in to Chat Doctor. Kindly consult a physician/pulmonologist regarding an X-ray of the chest and a pulmonary function test to rule out any chronic respiratory problems. If he is a smoker then he needs to cut down on that. Chronic smoking leads to inflammation of the respiratory tract that can lead to respiratory problems. If he is not a smoker then he may need cough suppressants. However, a cause of chronic cough should always be investigated. Chat Doctor.
