Need details

Detailed Answer:
Hello XXXXXXX


First I would like to know do you have dry or wet cough with sputum.

What all antibiotics are you taking currently? How many days you have taken so far?

Did you record temperature values? Is it high fever and is it associated with chills?

Do you have throat pain?

Kindly get back to me with details.

Thank you.

I have cough with sputum, severe initially, but has reduced now
I used cough syrup for a week
later i got fever and cold so i used the following tablets for 3 days
1.)Cheston Cold(Citrizine and Paracetamol)
2.)Azithral 500 (Azithromycine)
From yesterday i started using the following tablets
1.)Moxykind CV 625
2.)Pantosec
3.)Dichloran A

I dint record the temperature but im pretty sure it was below 100 all the time.
The fever goes when i take the tablets and comes back a few hours later and persists until i use the tablets again

I dont have throat pain as such.

Brief Answer:
Continue medication

Detailed Answer:
Hello XXXXXXX


I suggest you continue Moxykind CV, Pantosec and take Dichloran when you gets fever.
I also suggest you Montelukast with levocetrizine combination medication once a day before bed for 5 days. You can get it local doctor prescription

If you see any improvement within 3 days then continue medications for 5 days.
If you will not feel better after 3 days of medications then better go for blood tests like complete blood picture and chest X ray.

Do steam inhalation twice day.

Avoid having spicy and cold food.

If you have any queries I will be happy to help you.
Thank you.
