How Can Cough And Chest Congestion Be Treated?

I have had a very bad cough and congestion for about 7 weeks. I expectorate about 10-15 times a day. I was on z pac about a week ago however a cough and congestion continues . I noticed two round dots on my back today about the size of a small dime. What does this mean?

Hello,

As per your query you have symptoms of cough and chest congestion which is due to chronic chest infection and increased susceptibility of getting affected due to poor immunity. Black dots at back seems to be due to tonsils infection.

Visit pulmonologist once and get it examined. You should get X-ray chest, routine blood tests and pulmonary function tests done as well to check exact level of infection. You should drink warm water with one spoon honey and ginger extract. Take steam several times a day , which will be very helpful. Avoid taking cold carbonated beverages. You need inhaled bronchodilators an antihistamine drug. You should use mist humidifiers in room.

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

Regards,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
