Suggest remedy for persistent cough
Patient: Hello. I think that I might have bronchitis. It all started in 10/21. Usually when the seasons change up here in Northern California, I get Nasal Drainage. Usually after the Nasal Drainage, I get a sore throat and a little bit of a cough. It s usually gone within seven days. But this is different. After about a week passed (and mind you I never got a sore throat), I started coughing. I figured my immunity was up and my throat was spared. But the coughing has persisted up to this day. How do I get rid of this garbage? Doctor: Hi,It seems that you might be having lower respiratory tract infection, mainly bacterial.Go for one antibiotic medicine course for 5-7 days.Take some cough suppressant syrup to get symptomatic relief.Avoid cold drinks and junk food.Ok and take care.
