Hello and welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Since you are complaining of productive cough, kindly look for the following:
1) is the duration of cough more than 14 days
2 ) is it accompanied with
fever, mostly evening rise of temperature and
profuse sweating with it
3) is there
chest pain which gets relieved by changing posture when you sleep.
If you notice any of the above, kindly make sure that you get investigations like chest
x ray,
sputum culture test, CBP, by prescription from a doctor. If it is a short duration cough without any fever, it is mostly a common flu which will cure in about 7 to 10 days. You can try lozenges, anti histaminics to relieve symptoms which I am sure your doctor might have prescribed.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Suhas Chauhan
