What causes running nose and irritating cough?
Patient: Hi, I have irritating cough along with accasional running nose WITHOUT having cold. Sometimes it is dry, sometimes cough is yellowish and sometimes it is dark in color. I visited ENT doc and he suggested Amoxycillin tab, LCZ plus and RESWAS syrup. After having taken for 5 days it is not yet perfectly ok. I had sinus problem in the past. Doctor: HelloIrritating cough ,Running nose ,Cough is associated with yellowish color phlegm or sometimes dark in color,An old case of sinus problem.Amoxycillin , lecoceterizine and cough syrup ( reswas) are not working .When patient with these symptoms visit my clinic I usually advise them to take monteleukast+ bambuterole tablet once or twice in day till complete cure . If sore throat is there I advise them to take levofloxacin 750 mg once in day for 5 days .I also advise my patient to avoid contact with mite , dust , pollen , mold , sudden change in temperature , fine dusting powder , hay . Because these are predisposing factors causing sinus problem and allergy ( as you may have these symptoms due to asthmatic allergic bronchitis ) .Hot coffee and steam inhalation also act as bronchodilators . All these symptoms are due to bronchoconstriction caused by these predisposing factors.Since these drugs are prescription drugs so please consult a physician and take a prescription.Hope this information will be helpful for you.
