What you’re experiencing isn’t uncommon when transitioning to herbal remedies like Sitaram Kof Sap Syrup. The lingering cough with changing nature—sometimes dry, sometimes with phlegm—suggests an underlying imbalance that might need addressing beyond symptomatic relief.
In Siddha-Ayurveda, coughs often relate to imbalances in Kapha (associated with mucus and congestion) or Vata dosha (linked to dryness and irritation). The herbal formulation could be assisting, but it might need more support. Pay attention to dietary habits: Avoid dairy, cold, or heavy foods which can increase Kapha. Instead, favor warm, light meals that support digestion and metabolism. Spices like ginger, black pepper, and turmeric can help to pacify Vata and support lung health.
Consider honey and ginger tea, which may soothe the throat and aid expectoration when the cough is phlegmy. If the cough is dry, a dash of ghee with warm milk before bedtime might help by providing moisture and support to Vata.
Breathing exercises such as Pranayama can also improve lung capacity and reduce stress on the respiratory system. Engage in gentle yoga tailored to your ability, as this can balance the immune response.
Since your medical check-up showed no concerns, it seems there’s no immediate risk, but persistent issues warrant a follow-up. If the symptoms persist or worsen unexpectedly, consider consulting both an Ayurvedic practitioner who can give you a full dosha analysis and potentially a conventional doctor for another check-up. Remember, the key in Ayurveda is bringing your body’s systems back to balance, not just quick fixes.
