Suggest Treatment For Cough, Upper Back Pain And Staph Infection

I currently have a staph infection with HS. In the last two weeks I have developed a productive cough (white) with pain in my right rib and upper back. I am already on antibiotics for the staph infection. Should I request a change in antibiotics or continue what I am on?

HI
Thanks for posting your query to Healthcaremagic.

First of all kindly let me know what is HS. Productive cough could be due to allergy,Viral or bacterial infection.
Some of the antibiotics used for Staph will also work for Productive cough, so no need to additional Antibiotics for the time being.

Do salt water gargling, drink hot water, Avoid Non veg and oily food . Avoid Citrus Fruits. If Cough still persists then consult your doctor.

Hope you find this information useful.

Any clarifications or Queries feel free to ask.
Happy to help you.
