Suggest treatment for cough and fever
Patient: My husband had a bad cough two weeks ago and was taking Sudafed for the sinus drainage and Nyquil at night.  It all subsided.  Yesterday the cough came back and he is running a fever.  It also looks like he has a sunburn on his face, chest, arms and back.  He sent me to the store to get the Nyquil Muscous control stuff.  What should I do, take him to the doctor? Doctor: Hi welcome to health care magic... Your husband had taken antihistamine  drug and cough suppressant... But as it is two week since having problem,  I would suggest you to consult him to pulmonologist or near by doctor for auscultation  and examination first... Than if needed work up done with... -CBC with AEC count -Throat swab -Chest x ray only if needed -ASO titreAccording  to report further treatment guided Ex. If eosinophilia more than Allegra M given... If neutrophila and aso positive than amoxyclav  neededTake care
