Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I have bad cough. A little blood but, mostly dry cough. Tastes like infection. It has been 3 days. No fever or sinus. My left ear hurts but, I have permanent tubes in both. Drinking water, the with honey and lemon. No appetite everything tastes bad. Feeling weak and ribs are hurting but, that is from coughing.
I share your concerns. it is because of infection only as you have suggested. In my opinion you have infection in in throat as well as in lungs.
I treat my patients with such symptoms in following ways 1 sputum microscopic examination and culture and sensitivity for antibiotics 2 a course of antibiotic(penicillin group is good option) 3 decongestants and antihistamines 4 expectorant cough syrup 5 saline gargles
Keep taking lemon and honey. Keep away from cold food items like ice cream.
I hope my reply will help you. Please write to us for more questions. I wish you good health. Kindly rate this reply. Thanks
