Suggest Treatment For Prolonged Cough With Phelgm And Asthma Flare Up

I have had a cough with phlegm for almost six weeks. After two weeks i did a course of augmentin which didn t work. Then put on various allergy otc medicines be my asthma started flaring up. At five weeks was put on five days of prednisone which helped but I still am coughing up some phlegm. My asthma is better but I am an avid exerciser and have been sidelined bc of this so am miserable.

Hi dear!

Thanks for consulting the Physicians at HealthCare Magic. I have worked through your case thoroughly, and I can easily realize your health worries. Being your physician, I reassure you not to worry as things will settle down very soon.
Usually in a condition like this I recommend Tablet Azithromycin500mg 1daily for 10days + Tablet Fexofenadine120mg twice daily for 7days + Any OTC Syrup for cough and sputum.
As these are prescription drugs, you may consult your physician before using them.

May you get very well soon and have a wonderful time ahead. Please don't forget to give your valuable feedback to help us assist you in a better way. Click at 'I Find This Answer Helpful' & give a five Stars too. Write a review about your experience with me.
