Accepted Answer

It sounds like you may be experiencing a persistent cough that has transitioned from a productive (loose) cough to a dry cough. For your dry cough, you can try taking **Dextromethorphan** (such as Robitussin DM) at a dosage of 10-20 mg every 4 hours as needed to suppress the cough reflex. Additionally, you can use a throat lozenge with **Benzocaine** to help soothe your throat irritation. Make sure to stay hydrated and consider using a humidifier to add moisture to the air, which can help alleviate your cough symptoms. If your cough persists or worsens, it is advisable to consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation.
