Question 1

I have had a mild cough for the past 20 days, mainly in the evening and at night. I have tried medicines such as Cortex, Bro-Zedex, Benadryl, and some Ayurvedic remedies, but there has been little improvement. What should I do?

Dr Chandrakanth Jena · Accepted Answer

A mild cough lasting 20 days, especially at night, may be due to post-nasal drip, allergy, asthma, or acid reflux. Since your current medicines have not helped, you should stop self-medicating and consult your doctor for a thorough examination, including an allergy and chest assessment, and to receive appropriate treatment. Stay well hydrated, avoid exposure to dust, smoke, and other triggers, and keep your sleeping environment clean and well ventilated until you are examined.

Question 2

I have frequent episodes of cold with severe sneezing, nasal blockage, forehead and eye pain, and mild fever, occurring about once a month. What could be causing this, and what should I do?

Dr Chandrakanth Jena · Accepted Answer

Your symptoms may suggest recurrent allergic rhinitis (hay fever) or a viral upper respiratory infection with associated sinus inflammation, which can cause forehead and eye pain. Triggers such as dust, pollen, air pollution, and weather changes may be contributing to these frequent episodes. You should avoid known triggers, maintain good nasal hygiene using saline rinses, stay well hydrated, and try steam inhalation for relief. If symptoms persist, consult an ENT specialist for proper evaluation and discuss preventive treatment options.

Dr Chandrakanth Jena · Accepted Answer

Corex T Syrup is used to treat dry coughs associated with the common cold or allergies. It contains Codeine, which helps suppress coughing, and Triprolidine, an antihistamine that reduces allergy-related symptoms such as sneezing and a runny nose. It should be used exactly as prescribed and only for short-term relief, as overuse may lead to dependence. Avoid driving or consuming alcohol while taking it, as it may cause drowsiness.

Question 4

Dr Bayyarapu Kumar · Accepted Answer

No. Corex T Syrup contains codeine, which is a controlled medicine. Because of the risk of misuse and dependence, it cannot be sold online or delivered to homes. It is dispensed only through licensed offline pharmacies or hospital pharmacies and only upon presentation of a valid physical prescription. Importantly, since you have been experiencing throat pain, allergy, and cough for several years, it is best to consult your doctor again for a reassessment. A proper diagnosis is essential to identify the underlying cause of your persistent condition, rather than continuing long‑term use of this medication without review. Your doctor can guide you on safer, more effective treatment options tailored to your needs.
