Need Medication For Dry Cough

Hello,

I had dry cough and I was coughing continuously, Went to nearest medicine shop and told the symptom to the concerned person he gave me Almox 500 after consuming coughing has subsided but acute running nose has started. Is this because of medicine that I have consumed???

Thanks for your question on Health Care Magic.
I can understand your concern.
No, your symptom of running nose is not due to Almox tablet.
Almox is amoxicillin. It is penicillin group of antibiotic. It does not cause running nose.
You are mostly having viral upper respiratory tract infection (URTI). This is the cause for your cough and running nose.
So better to drink plenty of fluids orally and keep yourself hydrated. Avoid dust and pollution. Start antihistamines and anti inflammatory drugs.
Usually viral infection is self-limiting in 1 - 2 weeks. So recovery in your case is expected in 2 weeks.
Hope I have solved your query.
I will be happy to help you further.
Wish you good health. Thanks.
