Suggest Treatment For Severe Cough And Sore Throat
Question: I was sick with a mild cold 3 days last week but then this intense coughing started. I'm gasping for air as if I'm being strangled. My chest isn't tight, my throat feels closed. My sides hurt from the intensity, its worse at night, breathing treatments. Haven't helped. I'm confused and lose feeling in my hands as if they're asleep.
Brief Answer:
You need bronchodilator.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
These symptoms are due to airway going into constriction.
You need bronchodilators and expectorant, this will help relieve your cough.
Try steam inhalation three times a day , it is extremely helpful.
If still symptoms persist you will need to get chest xray done.
Hope this helps.Please ask if there are doubts.Regards.
