Suggest Treatment For Persistent Cough Despite Taking Ciprofloxacin
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice. Please carry on the above treatment. Do a chest X-ray and take a throat swab and culture sensitivity test, start an antibiotic for 2 weeks. Also, take syrup Bro-Zedex for one week. If it does not subside, then we need to do blood tests and CT chest. However, for now, continue the treatment. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Regards, Dr. Rajat Basak
