Hi,I am Dr. Amitkumar Sharma (Internal Medicine Specialist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I have had a violent dry cough for 3 weeks now. I have gone to the Dr. and was told I had bronchitis and sinus infection. I finished my antibiotics almost 2 weeks ago, tried mucinex, hot and cold humidifier. Now the Dr. prescribed cough medicine with codeine. I have been taking that for about a week and no change. I have extreme fatigue and no fever for a week now. Is there something else the Dr. can prescribe to me or do I just have to wait it out.
