Hello,
Welcome to HCM
I understand your concerns.Your wife may be suffering from lower respiratory tract infection which might be of viral origin.
I would advice her to take higher antibiotics like 4th generation cephalosporins along with antihistamines like tablet.Cetrizine.Also take syrup.Bricarex for cough 3 times daily.
Although antibiotics wont be of much help in viral infections,it will help in preventing the secondary bacterial infections.
Hope i have answered your query.
Thank you
