Accepted Answer

This could be a sign of a respiratory infection or condition such as pneumonia or bronchitis. I recommend you take an over-the-counter cough suppressant like Delsym (dextromethorphan) as directed on the package.

If your symptoms persist or worsen, please seek medical attention promptly.
