Q: I have been suffering from Chronic Cough. Even after several consultations with so many doctors, cough is not getting allright except the wastage of money on several tests. All the tests are normal only. Cough gets worsened during winter season. Whenever I take cetzin tablet it is getting stopped. next day again it starts. Please help me in getting recovered from this disease sir.I had the habit of masturbation. I never had unprotected sex. Please help me sir.

A:Your cough seems to be either due to sinusitis, with post nasal drip irritating the throat, or just plain allergic, or due to gastroesophageal reflux. It needs to be checked properly, possibly needing a CT scan PNS, Nasal Endoscopy, Upper GI Endoscopy, to confirm, rest assured masturbation or sex would not have any relationship with your cough.
