Dr Sujal Patil · Answer

Hello Sunita, 
What is the colour of sputum? Fever or other symptoms? Does your father experience breathlessness, chest pain, or blood in sputum along with the cough? Is his appetite and digestion stable during chemotherapy?

For relief from frequent coughing, give Sitopaladi Churna (1/4 tsp) with 1/4 tsp honey , honey twice daily to soothe the respiratory tract if he is non diabetic. If he is diabetic then Yashtimadhu Churna + trikatu churna both 1/4 tsp each, with warm water can help reduce phlegm. Prepare a decoction of Vasaka (Adhatoda), Guduchi (Giloy) Mulethi (Licorice), and Tulsi and give it 2-3 times daily for lung support. Gentle steam inhalation with Eucalyptus oil may help ease congestion. Ensure a light, warm diet with easily digestible foods to maintain strength. Let me know if further guidance is needed.
