Hello,
As per your clinical history is concerned, please follow like this -
1) Do a clinical examination by your doctor [pulmonologist] and do CBC with differential to confirm exact cause.
2) You are taking right medication so add OTC probiotics [Lactobacillus] to prevent diarrhea.
3) Discuss with your doctor to add a cough syrup if you have a cough or antihistamine if no cough.
Do follow lifestyle modifications like this -
1) Try to avoid cigarette smoke.
2) Discuss vaccination. Getting a yearly flu vaccine can help protect you from getting the flu. You may also want to consider vaccination that protects against some types of pneumonia.
3) Try to wash your hands. To reduce your risk of catching a viral infection, wash your hands frequently and get in the habit of using hand sanitizers.
4) Try to wear a surgical mask while facing crowds.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Uday Nath Sahoo
