What Causes Wheezing And Gurgling Sound After Taking Augmentin?
Brief Answer:
Better to get done chest x ray and PFT.
Detailed Answer:
Hello dear, thanks for your question on HCM.
I can understand your situation and problem.
In my opinion you are having bronchitis.
Upper respiratory tract infection ( URTI ) , if not controlled, can complicate as bronchitis.
It is inflammation of bronchi.
Mucus (sputum) production and wheezing are characteristic symptoms of bronchitis.
So in your case, we need to rule out bronchitis first.
So consult pulmonologist and get done
1. Clinical examination of respiratory system.
2. Chest x ray.
3. PFT ( pulmonary function test ).
You may need inhaled bronchodilators and antihistamine drug along with augmentin for wheezing and mucus.
Hope I have solved your query.
I will be happy to help you further.
Wish you good health.
Thanks.

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear, thanks for follow up question on HCM.
No, the symptoms you are having are not normal symptoms.
Usual flu infection do not cause wheezing and mucus production.
If it is complicated by bronchitis then only patient can have wheezing and mucus.
You are taking augmentin since 3 and half days and still not improving, rather worsening with wheezing and mucus.
So I think you will need inhaled bronchodilators and antihistamine drug.
