Suggest Treatment For Chest Congestion, Wheezing And Persistent Cough
My uncle has a persistant cough, very congested. Has a heart problem. I purchased Robitusson DM and he emmediately got a real bad headache, which is a side effect that states stop taking if you get a headache. So he did. Now he is still very congested, wheezing and needs something to bring up the phlem. What do you suggest?

Hello,
The persistent cough has to be evaluated thoroughly.
Consult a pulmonologist and get a chest X-ray and sputum culture.
Antibiotics have to be started according to the culture reports.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
