My wife's been dealing with a dry cough for over two months now. We did an X-ray and some blood tests, and the doctor thinks it's an allergy. She's already been through three courses of tablets, but there's still no improvement. What do you think we should do next? Do you have any suggestions?

I've been dealing with this allergic problem for the past couple of years, and it's been pretty frustrating. I take medication, and it seems to go away for a while, but then it's back. Recently, my doctor suggested I try acebrophylline. I'm a bit unsure about it. Should I go ahead with it, or maybe get a second opinion from another doctor?

Acebrophylline is commonly prescribed for managing respiratory allergies and asthma. If your symptoms persist despite treatment, its wise to follow up with your current doctor or seek a second opinion for a tailored long-term allergy management plan.

I'm noticing this issue for the second time now. Every time I eat a banana, I wake up the next day with an irritable throat, and it feels like my throat is narrowing. It's really uncomfortable and now it's starting to feel like there's something stuck, with the pain even going to the back of my chest. What should I do about this?

That could be allergic reaction,stop consuming Banana ,drink more warm water and take rest,if its becoming more worse visit nearest hospital immediately for help
