Winter season is going on. I took antihelminthic drug 4mth back. drugs like fexofenadine, codeine etc doesnt work. Chest auscultation is normal. Currently having low dose COC pills. IT seems that I just have repeated ciugh with no reason. My doctors are not able to establish diagnosis and I am treated for no reason and my cough doesnt subside. Please help me out. Thank you
[|AI|]  Hello dear, thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. In my opinion you are having allergic cough due to mild asthma.  Because your symptoms are having seasonal variation and more in outside home situation mostly due to exposure to environmental allergen. So better to consult pulmonologist and get done PFT (pulmonary function test). To diagnose mild asthma PFT is must. It will also tell you about severity of the disease. And treatment of asthma is based on severity only. You may require inhaled treatment in the form of inhaled beta 2 agonists and inhaled corticosteroid (ICS). So first rule out asthma.
