I have a dry cough for past one week regular cough syrups are not working and when i cough my abdominal muscles are hurting. please advise?

Splint your abdomen: Hold your abdominal muscles where they hurt when you need to cough. Consult a pharmacist or your doctor about better cough relief and to find the cause of your cough. If you have a fever, you should get an x-ray.
