Suggest Medication For A Bad Cough & Chest Pain
I have been feeling unwell for 5 weeks now, it started with me losing my voice, coughing badly, so much so that it hurts my chest and I am gagging when I'm coughing could this be from cleaning products being inhaled because I clean outside my house about 13 hours per week. I have been to my doctor twice he gave my two lots of antibiotics but neither has helped me. Please Reply Vicki

Thanks to HCM
I can understand you issue
I came to know that you are working on house cleaning
here cough is coming not only from infection ,, it may be due to irritating allergens in dust ..
plz try to avoid that type of work for few weeks ,,or otherwise wear mask and do
moreover lot of antibiotic will spoil your health ,,
have a chest x ray once ,,cbp and esr .tests
you can use antihistaminic like levocetrizine 5mg if not montair lc for 5 days with low dose antibiotics
moreover be away from cold and cold items ok
don't worry it will subside
