General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello,

As your father has chronic cough and ESR 97 and WBC count also 17600, I think you have to do sputum examination routine and culture sensitivity, chest x-ray or CT scan after chest physician consultation.

Now, I wold suggest you along with these antibiotics, you can take syrup Cadex.

You have to watch for symptoms like fever, breathlessness. I think your father may require IV antibiotic course after chest physician opinion.

I will suggest you to review here with detailed history or consult with the chest physician. Maintain proper diet and hygiene.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Shyam B. Kale
