Suffering From Kidney Disease What Medicines Should Be Taken To Cure Severe Coughing?
My sister has chronic kidney disease she hasn't started dialysis yet she's on medications. For a week now she's been complaining of severe coughing with yellow sputum she used cough syrup but it still persist. Our next visit to see the doctor is 29th January. We are at a different state from where the kidney clinic is and we don't have any contact with the doctor. Can you please advice on what meds she can take till we go to see the doctor. Please help as soon as you can, thank you. Hahjkja Ghana, West Africa
Hi, I appreciate concern for your sister. In case your sister is suffering from cough with yellow sputum,it might be indicative of a infection likely bacterial. Your sister might need a short course of antibiotics to clear her infection. Alongwith antibiotics ,kindly give her expectorants to help her clear her secretions.Hope it helps.
