Suggest Treatment For Severe Coughing

I have the flu at the moment the doctor came and wrote a script for antibiotics taken two. But I just woke up coughing and then completely lost my breath very terrifying. Okay now but very nervous about the next episode. Its 4.30 am in the morning in Perth Western Australia and I live alone.

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
I understand your concern.
Based on your description, it appears that you are having secondary bacterial infection of lower respiratory tract following viral infection.
Kindly take that antibiotics course as prescribed.
Along with that, you would require mucolytic and expectorant medication to ease out mucous from draining out. Kindly take syrup containing Ambroxol, salbutamol with Guaphenisin and menthol combination thrice daily.
Intake of steam inhalation twice daily would also help.
Gradually, you should start feeling better.
Hope the information provided would be helpful.
All the best.
I find this answer helpful
