Cough, Lungs Feels Heavy And Burns, Daughter Have Fever And Cough
I had a sudden cough come on tonight. My lungs feel heavy and when I cough it burns way down it feels like in my lower lobes of my lungs. One of my daughters has had a high fever for 3 days but she isn t coughing. The other one (her twin), had a bad cough a few weeks ago. Not sure what this is and what I should be doing for relief
Hi, From history it seems that you might be having viral bronchitis. Take some cough suppressant syrup for 2-3 days. Gradually you will be alright. If cough is continued then there might be chances of having bacterial infection. Then go for one antibiotic medicine course after consulting your doctor. Avoid cold drinks and junk food. Ok and take care.
Hi.. Thanks for the query.. It could be a URTI.. You can get a x ray done to know the extent of infection. You can start antibiotic, cough syrup and do saline gargling and also drink warm water... Take care.
