Suggest Treatment For Chronic Cough And Sore Throat
I have had a persistent cough for 2 months along with throwing up mucous. Now my throat, glands, and back of my tongue are very sore and it hurts to swallow. I went to the dr. he put me on antibiotics and nasal spray for post nasal drip, but it doesn t seem to be helping. Any ideas as to what could be going on or treatments to help until tomorrow when I see the dr. again
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have chronic cough and sore throat which is due to chronic lung infection or bronchitis which can cause chronic cough. Need not to worry much. I would suggest you to visit pulmonologist once and get it examined. You should go for pulmonary function tests as well to check exact level of infection. You need inhaled bronchodilators and antihistamine drug. You should get x-ray chest done as well. You should take cough expectorants as well. You should use mist humidifiers in room.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes, Dr. Harry Maheshwari
