I'm 64 years old male.Last 1+ months I am suffering from dry cough.In the beginning I started Sitopaladi churna,honey, Jeshtimadh(yashtimool sometimes called) but no improvement. So I consulted general physician and he prescribed Asthalin Expectorant Plus and Montina tablet(one tablet a day) but effect of medicine is very little. I checked body temp and it is 97. I live in Chembur,Mumbai where Air quality is very very poor(highly polluted). Please suggest proper medication. My PP sugar level is slightly high.

Ans: Polluted atmosphere could be one of your causes for persistent cough.
Please start using a can ester mask while travelling out in public transports and even while you go out for a walk.
You can also dampen a thin muslin cloth to keep around your nose for filtering dust from air. If there was any viral flu at the beginning of the episode, then it will settle down. Soon Because there are some post viral coughs are persisting around 3-4weeks

Hello Sir, My son got 98 percentile in MHT CET, according to previous year cutoff he can get Civil or Production Engineering in VJTI Mumbai, should he take any of the above branch. Is this good for his future. Please suggest.

Ans: Hello dear.
With the mentioned percentile, he may gain admission to CSE or computer-related branches with a compromise on the engineering college. Civil engineering is a more preferable branch over Production from a future point of view. Wait until the SML is declared. The scenario will be clearer after the SML.
Best of luck.

Sir cbse private candidate ke marksheet par school name nahi likha rahata hai ese rule hai cbse ka uske jagah or koi document nahi chalega ya fir nios se class12 karu future me problum to nahi hogi na placement me

Ans: Hello Geeta
How is it possible that the school name is not printed on the mark sheet? Without the school name, the mark sheet/document will not be valid for any counseling process. Raise this issue with the school management as soon as possible to save your year.
