Hi Ripa, Can you tell me if you’re experiencing any other symptoms like shortness of breath, chest pain, or mucus production with the cough? Also, does the cough worsen after meals or during certain activities? For persistent cough, Tulsi (Holy Basil) and Honey may help soothe the throat. For constipation, try increasing fiber intake with Triphala or Psyllium husk to improve bowel movements. Make sure to stay hydrated and manage stress, as both can contribute to your symptoms. If the issue persists, consult with a healthcare provider to explore underlying causes like allergies or GERD.

Given your persistent cough and recent antibiotic use, alongside your mentioned constpation, it's important firstly to consider addressing the underlying imbalance in your body from an Ayurvedic perspective. A cough lasting for more than a couple of weeks could often be indicative of an aggravated Vata and Kapha dosha, while constipation is mostly related to Vata dosha imbalance. From an Ayurvedic stand point, focusing on your Agni, or digestive fire, is essential. Here's how you can align your lifestyle and diet with these principles. Start with your diet: focus on warm, cooked meals. Incorporate foods like ginger and garlic which can help enhance your digestion and also act as natural expectorants. Avoid cold and raw foods - they can increase vata and aggravate the cough. For constipation, include more fiber-rich fruits and vegetables, and drink warm water throughout the day to help with the bowel movements. Also, try a simple decoction with Tulsi (holy basil), ginger, and a bit of honey. Boil these in water and sip slowly; it might help soothe the cough. Stay away from dairy products as they can increase Kapha and mucus production. Lifestyle-wise, maintain a regular sleep cycle. Lack of sleep can disrupt your body's natural biorhythms, further aggravating Vata. Gentle exercises like yoga can help keep the prana moving smoothly, and practicing pranayama (especially Anulom Vilom and Kapalbhati breathing techniques) might improve lung function. It's also crucial to address stress, as this impacts both your immune system and Vata balance. Regular stress management can include meditation or simply taking time for activities you enjoy. If these symptoms persist, or you experience shortness of breath, it's crucial to seek immediate medical attention beyond these suggestions. A prolonged cough could require more direct intervention through allopathic care, so be mindful of that.
