I am suffering from dry cough since a month. The doctors prescribed me with a levocetirizine and Amoxicillin tablets but that did not help. My head aches when I cough and I hear a hoarse sound only when I cough louder. Should I be worried? Should I undergo chest xray or CT scan to find the reason? I was a smoker since 2011 and I quit a couple of days ago.
