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 had a cold and generally I feel good except I haven t slept in a week due to a cough that is non stop. I ve been living off cough drops and they don t help. I ve taken Nyquil which usually makes me very tired and it hasn t helped. I have been coughing so hard that I ve been vomiting. Nothing seems to help and I just want to be able to sleep and stop coughing.
Your symptoms are suggestive of bronchitis. For this reason, I recommend consulting with your attending physician for a physical exam, a chest X-ray study and some blood lab tests (complete blood count, PCR, ESR). Starting antibiotics may be needed.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr Ilir Sharka, Cardiologist
