Suggest Medication For Cough And Breathlessness
I've had a cough for two weeks but for the past 3 nights I have woken up coughing and fighting for breath to the point where I thought I was dying. My GP prescribed Solumol inhaler and Cocodamol and this coincides with the attack. Could one of these be causing it. I also have clear sputum when I cough. Thanks

Hello,
Welcome to HCM,
The symptoms is mainly due to infection in your respiratory tract, leading to constriction of bronchioles and cough.
Bronchconstriction is leading breathlessness and cough, Your treating doctor has prescribed a proper drug to relieve the constriction and improve the breathlessness and to reduce to the cough.
I would have suggested that along with these drugs you may also require a course of antibiotics as your having cough for 2 weeks.
These medicines will improve your condition.
Thank you.
