Suggest remedy for cough
Patient: hello i have a bad cough and saw my internal medicine doctor today, she checked my breathing a freaked out cause of how bad i sounded, i then coughed and cleared my chest out and she checked again and i sounded great. The only problem is she gave me advair.... "doesnt work immediately she said" but i will wake up from sleeping and cough myself into a really bad pressure headache that will cause my ears to ring and cause my vision to darken off. what can i do before going to bed, or right after i wake up to break up the mucus that builds up in my chest that causes me to cough for so long. Doctor: Hi, thanks for sharing your health concerns with HCM!    If I were your treating Doctor for this case of productive and tiring coughs, I would come up with three advises, these include: 1.     get a chest X-ray and sputum test preferably before starting any medicines!2.     take ambroxol/acetyl-cystein containing cough syrups !      3.     add amoxycillin+clavulanic acid combination tablets BD or azithromycin 500 mg once daily for 5 days in addition to your present medicines but preferably after asking a chest physician!Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your questions. Wishing you good health.
