Thank you for your query.

and you'll have the payment alternatives. It will take 15$ if you get monthly subscription for unlimited consultations with a certified family physician.

2. Coming back to your health problems:
- 56 years old female
- personal history of chronic bronchititis
- current symptoms: sweating fever, coughing, chest pain due to severe coughing, symptoms not getting better

Your main problem is coughing. As I was reviewing your case, I noted that you have taken lots of antibiotics and inflammatory drugs.

You have elevated WBC which is suggestive for persisting bacterial infection.
At this point, I'd recommend to run culture of sputum to determine the right antibiotic to treat the bacterial infection.

Next, mucolytics like carbocystein or N-acetylcystein are advised to take in order to dissolve sputum and ease coughing.

Aerosol-therapy is advised to ease congestion and coughing.

Anti-histaminic medications to dominate coughing at night.
Antacids to ease stomach hyperacidity which is commonly associating infections and antibiotics use.
Probiotics to stabilize intestinal flora altered from antibiotics.

If you are not getting better, I'd recommend to get hospitalized in order to take more specific treatment.

I agree with your son to go to ER as you need help right now.

Let me know if I can be of further help to you.
Wish fast recovery.
Dr.Albana
