I have had this hacking cough now for about a week and 1/2.  I have been taking OTC cough syrup and its not helping.  Because of this cough, my throat is sore and my voice is becoming raspy.  The cough gets worse at nigh.  What can be done to relive these symtoms?
Hello, Welcome to Chat Doctor. I am Chat Doctor answering your query. I can understand your concern. You may be having respiratory tract infection. If I were your treating doctor I would have prescribed you following, Moxclavwarm saline gargle steam inhalation cough syrup with detromethorphan. For 5 days minimum. Hope this helps. Good luck.
