Since then, the complaints have been getting worse. Recurrent dry cough and chest pain that worsened after coughing were the main complaints. The patient experienced a series of complaints, starting with a dry cough that would last for a few days, followed by the production of milky white expectoration, which causes the patient to try to get rid of it constantly, and finally, a dry throat. After coughing, there was hoarseness in the voice. The patient was taking Tab. Allegra 120 mg once/day since the last few months, syrup Asthalin three times/day, syrup Grinillictus twice/day.
