Hi. I had fever 10 days back along with cough and cold. I took crocin cold and flu relief for 5 days, 3 tablets per day. My fever subsided. It used to be about 99.9 degrees and my usual body temperature is 97. I went to see a doctor after that as the cough increased. My doctor prescribed me Azee 500 one tablet per day for three days which I took. She also prescribed TusQ-X cough syrrup 3 times a day for 4-5 days and I took it for 5 days. She asked to take Dolo 650 3 times a day if fever/cold increases. My fever went down but coughing increased a lot. So after 5 days, i.e since yesterday I ve been taking Dolo 650 3 times a day but I feel dryness in the throat and have breathing problem at night. It is not so severe but I m worried because I should have recovered by now. What do you suggest.

Hi Thank you for asking HCM I have gone through your query.Your problem is most likely upper respiratory infection.If there is any findings in lung auscultation an X ray will be advised to rule out pneumonia or bronchitis.Blood routine should be done.Then i treat such condition with antibiotics like amoxicillin and clavulanic acid, mucolytics, antihistamines and vitamins.It is also advisable to take vitamin C, tea with lemon and warm chicken soup with pepper.Hope this may help you. Let me know if you have any further query.
