Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Yes, you may answer my question. My dear husband is having fits of coughing; he says he can hear the rattle of the mucus in his chest. He is recovering from a heart attack that happened a year ago; he was diagnosed as having CHF. I asked him if he knew what pleurisy was, and he said no. Had a pneumonia shot also while in the hospital. What can this be?
Yea your husband is having CHF n pneumonia both so ...he will suffer from fits of coughing which contain mucus...you should take antibiotics like cefodoxime200 mg bid and cough syrup which contain CPM,dextrometh,and ambroxol..
