<human>: Hello Doctor.My name is Ishan Malik from Baroda, India. I am suffering from heavy cough & running nose from almost 15 days. I showed myself to one doctor also but he gave me his usual drugs what he provides for any illness. I need a genuine doctor & exact drug for my problem.
<bot>: Hello Shan Malik. Thank you for asking at Chat Doctor. I would like you a few questions: Did you have fever this time? Have you ever had such illness/symptoms before? If this has happened for first time, you can consult a physician who will prescribe you Chat Doctor. However, if you are having recurrent episodes of this type, I would suggest you to consult an Allergist who will ask your history in detail and may suggest you allergy testing if your symptoms are suggestive of allergy. For symptomatic relief, at present I would suggest you an antihistaminelike cetirizine and an expectorant cough syrup. A good rest, adequate amount of fluids and avoidance of smoke/dusts/air pollution will also help. However, if your symptoms do not improve or any new symptom develops, I would suggest you to consult a physician who will examine your chest and suggest proper treatment. Hope this will be helpful to you. Wish you a fast recovery and best of the health. Regards.
