What Do Persistent Dry Cough With Mild Fever Indicate Despite Being On Honitus Syrup?
Brief Answer:
Need investigations
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Since its been more than 5 days, I suggest that you get a blood test done called complete blood count and a chest X-ray PA view done. It may be helpful in suggesting a diagnosis. Antibiotics are only helpful in bacterial infection.
If its viral, it does take 5-10 days to recover.
She can take a cough syrup like TusqD cough syrup 1 or 2 times a day.
Hope I have answered your query.
Take care
