How Can Persistent Cough And Difficulty In Swallowing Be Treated?

I have a persistent cough. I have been on antibiotics twice. A thousand milligrams of amoxicillin in April. Then on a thousand milligrams of cypro in September. I cough up a liquidity yellow mucus. It happens when I have been laying g down and get up. This stuff can take my brother a the away. I have to keep swallowing like if I was vomiting.

Hi,
Sorry to know your condition and I can also understand your concern.
If the color of mucus is yellow then most probably there is a bacterial infection.
So even this time you will need an appropriate antibiotic but I am not sure if plain amoxycillin will help this time.
I would have prescribed a combination of clavulanic acid and amoxycillin which will certainly help.
So my suggestion is consult your primary care physician for a prescription.
I hope my answer helps.
Please feel free to ask another question.
Thanks,
Dr.Prabhas Verma
