Having Cough Similar To Bronchial Spasms. Using Ventolin, Getting Symptoms. Can Use Ampiclox For Relief?
hi,
Can I use ampiclox for cough. the cough very similar to bronchial spasms or wheezing.
I have been using a Ventolin inhaler for the past week, but I am still getting the symptoms.
I thought that i might have contracted a bacteria or virus, so I though I eliminate the source of the symptoms by taking ampiclox.
please what do you advice

Hello,
Thanks for the query to H.C.M. Forum.
In such type of symptoms I would like not to prescribe antibiotics ( ampiclox ) for the cough.
This type of cough is usually due to allergy .Allergy develops bronchoconstriction and this causes cough and whistling ( wheezing ) sound during breathing.
Ventorlin is not so effective.
I usually prescribe antihistamine + bronchodilator i.e.bambuterol for instant relief.
Good luck Dr. HET
