Suggest Medication For Severe Cough And Heavy Chest

I was told I had the flu about a week and a half ago and still have very bad cough and breathing trouble. The doctor gave me antibotics and an in hauler but other than fever being gone i dont feel much better. My chest feels very heavy and i have coughed till i throw up. I cant seem to loosen up chest. also concerned because i have tiny red spots on roof of mouth and back of mouth. should this be of concern? i am supposed to return to work in 2 days and not sure if I should be. Any suggestions. thx Bev

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
HI,
Your fever is controlled with antibiotic,but heaviness in chest remain.the red spots on roof of mouth & back of mouth can be tiny ulcers in oral cavity due to Vitamin B complex deffeciensy following fever & antibiotics.
The cough usually takes a longer time to reseed,but if you have yellow /green sputum/ breathing trouble/heavy chest-you should visit your doctor for revising treatment.there is possibility of bronchitis, pneumonitis after flue.
Few investigations like blood counts, X ray chest may be needed for exclusion/ getting exact diagnosis. It will be followed by specific treatment .
thanks.
