Dear, Dry cough can be a sign of bronchitis or heart disease decompensation.
Kindly first contact the cardiologist to clear the diagnosis and then only medication can be suggested.
Wishing good health.

Cough suppressants, like dextromethorphan, can provide relief for a short time. They work on the part of your brain that controls the process.
Expectorants, like guaifenesin, can break up congestion in your chest by thinning the mucus in your airways. This way, when you do cough, you can get rid of phlegm more easily.

Hi. I understand your concerns. You might be having asthma. Asthma is chronic and a common problem causing symptoms. You will need to undergo a detailed examination and investigations like chest x ray to look for infection. If it's normal then you will need to undergo pulmonary function test which is needed for diagnosis and also to assess severity of asthma based on which treatemnt can be started. Consult a pulmonologist for the same.

Hi, your dry cough which is mostly viral may not go with an expectorant. Taking foods/ fruits/ juices rich in vitamin c shall help develop your immunity which in turn shall be instrumental in fighting against all such infections/ illnesses. A few things that may help your cough are as follows:
(a) warm saline gargling 2 - 3 times daily until your cough subsides. Then after, gargle at least once daily.
(b) inhale steam twice daily for 2 - 3 minutes. Continue until your cough subsides.more
