A. Cough is a protective reflex of the body to expel out the mucus or any irritant factor from the respiratory tract which is most of the time assosiated with cold due to any viral or bacterial infection . A proper examination is required to find the cause . As a home remyedy you can start with steam inhalation . Cough can be treated with cough suppressant or antitussives as per the cause. For cold antihistamines are useful and nasal saliney drops are also benifecial .

A. The condition is going to be sorted over the period within 3 to 5 days on the minimum side still if you feel that the problem is persisting then you should just cross check with your doctor once again as maybe there could be some another problem as well
