my daughter is 18 months old, has been suffering with a cough and cold for atleast six weeks now. Taken to the doctors was prescribed amoxicillen which cleared it, It came back within a couple of days so 2nd trip to docs and they gave a areochamber with ventolin inhaler. But the mucus has now developed alot thicker and when she sneezed earliar a streak of blood was in it.
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of severe cough and cold which seems to be due to persistent respiratory tract infection. Need not to worry. As you are already taking medicine but not getting benefitted much, I would suggest you visit ENT soecialist once and get it examined. You should go for blood tests and X-ray of chest to check extent and cause of infection. You should take proper course of antibiotic along with antiallergic medication. You should do warm saline gargles and take cough exoectorants. Take plenty of fluids. Avoid oily, sharp and spicy food.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon. Best Wishes, Dr. Harry Maheshwari
