Detailed Answer:

Thank you for the query.

Well, Nexium very rarely causes cramps or increased stool frequency but still can try reducing the dose to 20mg once a day.or can stop after 7 days too if you are not taking any painkillers in addition to it. You can continue with the medications given by your doctor.

Best wishes

Brief Answer:
hi

Detailed Answer:

Sorry i could not understand that.
Well greenish yellow phlegm is not normal
worthwhile getting a sputum culture and chest x ray done.
librax plan 1/2 - 0 -1/2 is good continue same.
Might need to take a course of antibiotic if cough persists after consulting your doctor.

Best wishes.
