How Can Chest Congestion Along With Cough And Sinusitis Be Treated?

My husband and I had the horrible flu in Feb. and have been sick every since. We were on Bactrium for 2 weeks and was not getting better and went and got antibiotic shots and steroid shots and pres. for Amoxicillin. I am doing way better but he is now on Doxy-cycline, Astelin nose spray and cough syrup. He is congested, coughing and sinus drainage. I checked his lungs and there is congestion on the right side with wheezing. No fever. What next?

Hello,

As per the presentation of your husband`s condition, it sounds to be lower respiratory tract infection, which requires evaluation with an x-ray chest and further management in accordance to that only.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
