Brief Answer:
Requires investigations to rule out sinusiis.

Detailed Answer:

Hi,


I had gone through your question and understand your concerns. The symptoms reported seem concerning and I will recommend that you see a doctor and get evaluated.


With such presentation, I would perform ENT examination to rule out sinusitis (source of infection). Post nasal drip of sinusitis causes cough and aggravates the attacks of asthma. Chronic stasis of mucus in throat (sputum + post nasal drip) progresses to tonsillo-pharyngitis. I will recommend you see a nearby ENT surgeon. He/she will know about the evaluation (investigations) of sinusitis.


I also advise to stop Tab. cenac (acelofenac increases your allergic or asthma cough). Get proper dosage of tab.zocef (adult dose is 500mg twice daily).


Hope this answers your question, if you have additional questions or follow up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your questions.


Wishing you good health.
