What is the treatment for high fever and dry cough?
Patient: My wife age of 25 yrs. She is suffering with following diseases: 1.) Since last 15 days she is suffering with fever of 102 to 103 regularly. 2.) Also, since last 15 days she is having dry cough but before 15 days that she was having wet cough (not dry). 3.) Also, as per chest sonography report there is right pleural effusion (approx 600ml) Doctor: Hello,It seems that your wife has lung infection which could be bacterial or tuberculosis. I would suggest getting a pleural tap done, and examined for gram staining, Ziehl-Neelsen (ZN) staining, and cultural sensitivity for aerobic and anaerobic bacteria and tuberculosis infection. I believe you require taking treatment according. In meanwhile you must take antibiotics after prescription by your physician. Eat a protein-rich healthy and balanced diet with multivitamins and calcium supplements.Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.Regards,Dr. Sheetal Verma
