Suggest Treatment For Viral Cough

Hi I have been coughing badly for 10 days. Fever on and off. Excessive sweating that wets the whole bed mostly at night and sometimes during the day. Fatigue, loss of appetite, sore throat. I can barely do anything. I m coughing up mucus. I went to an urgent care doctor three days ago and she said I just have a bad viral cough. Told me to take an expectorant, decongestant and ibuprofen but I am not getting better.

HI
welcome to HCM
going through your history and your doctor suggested some medication and told that you are suffering "viral Cough".
To difference between Viral or Bacterial Infection need some physical examination of breath sound by stethoscope and throat condition.Also need some life style history to expose any particular pollution .
Now do some Investigation
CBC with ESR and AEC
if you are resident of India do also AFB for Sputum ( mucus) 2 times
All test made in any NABL accredited laboratory only till then you can take
TAb Azithromycine 500 once a day after breakfast
Tab Mont L at bed time
andan expectorant.
Kindly contact me any time online
