Dry cough that does not seem to go away.

I am a 55 year old male from Canada. I had a round of cold and running nose about six weeks back that has converted into cough now. Currently, I have dry cough and nasal congestion. Nasal discharge is very scanty. There is irritation at the back end of mouth that causes coughing.

I had blood work and sinus X-ray done. They are normal.

Any help will be appreciated.

I missed this last email of yours. I am sorry. I don't remember how I managed to get over my coughing.

I am again faced with a set of similar symptoms. I had a bout of running nose, coupled with sneezing, watery discharge. In one week it has gone slightly thick. I have heavy nasal blockage, all nasal passages choked, slight body ache, no fever, voice changed, coughing without any discharge. I started with arms iodat 30, after 24 hours kali bichrome 30. Today one dose of nat mur 200.

Please advise.

Hi-

Your last post was almost a year ago.

This right now is a flu that is going around, many of my relatives all over the USA and out of the country have the same thing. It shifts and changes symptoms.
They also took Kali Bich for a time which
helped the sinus and discharge and then are
left with much less discharge but have
the dry cough. Nat Mur was helping them,but
it takes some time of rest, to get rid of
the dry cough part.

You took Nat Mur 200c, so you should not take
anything else for a few days. I would take
high doses of Vitamin C- up to 5000 mg
divide that up into segments for the day, that helps with
a virus-and rest.

Hello Simone717.

I have no words to express thanks to you.

I will follow your tip and see how I react to Vit C.

I won't be surprised about your suspicion about flu. I see that my current symptoms are remarkably the same, except body ache.

Thanks Again.
