What Should I Do For Severe Throat Ache And Wheezing?
Yes. The nurse practitioner prescribed Doxycycl Hyc and I'm not getting any better. I was positive for flu b. My throats hurts awful. I looked it up It's.for bacterial and the flu is viral. What should I do? They did a chest X-ray as my lungs were wheezing. I'm not a smoker. They also prescribed an inhaler. The inhaler is not working. Thanks

Also can use Loratadine to help cope with cough.
