Hi, My wife (age33), having viral pharyngitis. Doctor prescribed loxof 500 and Ascoril D cough syrup. She is on 4th day of medication but still no sign of relief. Specially at night can,t sleep due to cough. It last for almost all night. A help to reduce this cough at bed time would be reall relief. Thanks & regards S Banerjii

Hi Dear ,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query your wife have symptoms of viral pharyngitis since 4 days and she is not getting relief which is a matter of definite concern. I would suggest you to take preventive measures such as do warm saline gargles 3-4 times a day with lukewarm water. Take diet rich in fruits rich in vitamin C. You should start with course of antiviral and anti-inflammatory medications for immediate relief. If symptoms keeps on persisting visit ENT specialist once and get it examined and start treatment after proper prescription. Avoid drinking cold water and take steam inhalation.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
