Suggest Treatment For Fever And Cough
consider these medications
Detailed Answer:
Hello and thank you for asking HealthcareMagic,
I can understand your concern for your wife,
Yes, it might be that during or after having a viral common cold a hacking dry cough happens and lasts for up to one/two months.
Generally, there is a very small amount of phlegm indeed that can aggravate such a cough.
For this, I'd recommend her to take cough suppressants medication (like Codeine tablets twice orally) for the time being, and a steroid inhaler (like Budesonide inhaler twice daily for at least two weeks). You may need a prescription from your local physician for these.
If she has stomach problems like acid reflux too she might add some antiacids like Omeprazole once daily before breakfast.
Usually, a silent reflux may play a role in this situation also.
So please follow the above first and feel free to ask me again.
Regards
Dr.Jolanda
