Suggest Remedies For Cold, Cough And Breathlessness That Persist Since 8 Days
My husband has been sick for about 8 days First couple days acted like normal cold symptoms, post nasal drip, itchy ears and eyes. About the third day ran fever of 102.9 with extremely achy muscles . Fever responded quickly to Naproxen. But since fever he has been left with relentless unproductive cough and shortness of breath He has tried albuterol inhaler which isn t helping. We do have a nebulizer with albuterol for it and that does help. What do we need to do from here. He isn t improving

Hi There
You took the right treatment as of now . And if he isn't improving now then get done a chest x-Ray done, because it be pneumonia or respiratory track infection that needs to add on some antibiotics .
Good Luck
