POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 5 m old boy5 months agoA. For a dry cough, you can try the following over-the-counter (OTC) medicines:
Syrups: Benadryl Dry Cough Syrup (Diphenhydramine + Dextromethorphan) Ascoril-D (Dextromethorphan + Phenylephrine + Chlorpheniramine) Torex Dry Cough Syrup (Dextromethorphan + Bromhexine + Ammonium Chloride) Tablets: Dextromethorphan tablets (e.g., Dolo-DM, TusQ-D) Levocetirizine + Montelukast (for allergy-related cough) Home Remedies: Warm honey with ginger Turmeric milk Steam inhalation
If your dry cough persists for more than a week, worsens at night, or is accompanied by fever, wheezing, or chest pain, consult a doctor.
Let me know if it's for an adult or a child, so I can suggest accordingly.
