Suggest Treatment For Cough Formation In The Chest

hi I have cough in chest from the past 6 months now
and I have difficulty in taking deep breaths. I get fever occasionally and body aches(usually I get it when I bath and sleep) In the morning my throat and chest feels filled with cough and by the end of the day its almost gone. I consulted a docter and he took an Xray, the reports according to him very normal. And the medicine he prescribed me is called: Erythromycin EC 333MG

Hi welcome to the health care magic

Here chest x ray is normal Hence no pneumonia consolidation present and tuberculosis also very unlikely....

You are having here bronchitis or bronchiolitis like respiratory tract infection

Your Auscultation should be done and if rhonchi heard than for this bronchoconstriction, bronchodilator inhaler might prescribed... (if needed)

Investigate with CBC to look for eosinophila...
If AEC more than fexofenedine like antiallergic drug prescribed

Avoid smoking if habit....

Complete course of prescribed antibiotic

If no improvement than chest x ray, pulmonary function test like investigation needed

Consult pulmonologoist for examination with keeping my answer in mind

Take care
