Suggest Treatment For Fever And Cough Despite Taking Antibiotics
I have a cough with fever and am on my second antibiotic in two week (I have been on a z pack for two days now). My fever is not getting any lower and the cough won t go away with two different RX cough medicines. I had sinus surgery 6 weeks ago to prevent this type of several cold happening. When should the fever and cough subside?

Hello,
Fever with cough can be from bronchitis or pneumonia like condition.
Your work up done as follows:
- Auscultation
- CBC
- Chest x-ray
- Spirometry, if needed
According to reports, further management plan is decided. Z pack is not taken for two days only as antibiotic course should be taken for its full course of at least five days. Provide your reports for giving more comment.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Dr. Parth Goswami
