What Should I Do For Severe Throat Ache And Wheezing?

Yes. The nurse practitioner prescribed Doxycycl Hyc and I'm not getting any better. I was positive for flu b. My throats hurts awful. I looked it up It's.for bacterial and the flu is viral. What should I do? They did a chest X-ray as my lungs were wheezing. I'm not a smoker. They also prescribed an inhaler. The inhaler is not working. Thanks

Hi,

The flu is viral so antibiotics don't help.
You can use Corticosteroids such Budesonide with aerosol.
Also can use Loratadine to help cope with cough.

Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.

Hi,

Since the flu is viral the antibiotics don't help. You can try Budesonide aerosol to help breathing. Also can use Loratadine to help cope with cough.
