Suggest Medication For URI (upper Respiratory Infection)

Was sick with URI and on Augmetin 875mg for 10 days. Started feeling better but a week after off antibiotic I started feeling achey, coughing again and just over all feeling bad. Trying to let my body fight it but at least several times a day I notice how lousy I feel. Should I be concerned? It has been a month now and I have slept a lot.Letting my body work for me.

Hi welcome to health care magic....

Here you are having cough again....

You have taken full course of antibiotic for URTI....

So now it is better to consult pulmonologist for examination and auscultation ...

Here chest x ray should be done (as cough more than 3 to 4 week evaluated through x ray )...

It might reveal chronic bronchitis or any restrictive disease ....
If needed spirometry needs to be done to assess severity and accordingly management ...

Sputum cytology examination and culture will also be beneficial for planning further treatment ...

If no significant cause detected than no need for worry ....

Take turmeric powder in hot milk daily as home remedy .

Advise : consult pulmonologist ...

Take care
