Suggest Remedy For Cough
hello i have a bad cough and saw my internal medicine doctor today, she checked my breathing a freaked out cause of how bad i sounded, i then coughed and cleared my chest out and she checked again and i sounded great. The only problem is she gave me advair.... "doesnt work immediately she said" but i will wake up from sleeping and cough myself into a really bad pressure headache that will cause my ears to ring and cause my vision to darken off. what can i do before going to bed, or right after i wake up to break up the mucus that builds up in my chest that causes me to cough for so long.

Hi, thanks for sharing your health concerns with HCM!
If I were your treating Doctor for this case of productive and tiring coughs, I would come up with three advises, these include:
1. get a chest X-ray and sputum test preferably before starting any medicines!
2. take ambroxol/acetyl-cystein containing cough syrups !
3. add amoxycillin+clavulanic acid combination tablets BD or azithromycin 500 mg once daily for 5 days in addition to your present medicines but preferably after asking a chest physician!
Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your questions.
Wishing you good health.
