What Causes Continued Cough After Being On Tussionex And Augmentin?
My husband was put on Tussionex for cough and Augmentin on Last Tues. morn. It has been 5 days and he is no better. He had been sick for several days already when he saw doc on Tues. X ray also taken,but have heard no word.He is still coughing incessantly . I am almost over what he gave to me last week end but he seems to be the same. He is 73 years old,but in good health and works every day in a health care facility. Should he ride this out until Mon when he can see his doc again or go to the Emergency room?
