Suggest Treatment For Cold And Cough

I ve had a stuffy/runny nose for a month and a half and more recently it has moved into my chest and I spend at least 30-45 minutes every morning coughing up stuff and blowing my nose. I ve also had diarrhea for just about as long that went away for a week and is now back. My doctor put me on one of the strongest antibiotics and it did nothing for me. I ve been off taking them for 2 weeks now.

Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Read and understood your query.
You has a stuffy and runny nose for one and half months.
Severe coughing with lots pf phlegm which needed 30-45 minutes to clear in the morning and incidentally you developed diarrhea.

All such cases needs to be well investigated:
CT scan of the chest and abdomen to rule out any tuberculosis since you are suffering for such a long time.
Test of blood, urine, stool, phlegm for culture, sensitivity, gram staining and TB.

Treatment will depend upon the reports and you may need a specific treatment.
