Hey, I recently recovered from dengue and it's been about two weeks since I was discharged from the hospital. I'm feeling healthy now, but I'm wondering if it's okay for me to start drinking alcohol or if I should wait a bit longer. Also, is it alright to smoke again, or could that cause any problems?

I'm 39 and I've been dealing with a cold and cough for a few days now. I tried taking Levolin Plus for my cough, but it feels like the phlegm is stuck in my chest and won't come out. I'm also hearing some noises from my ears. Can you recommend any medications, like a cough syrup or antibiotics, that might help me get some relief?

take tablet amoxyclav for 5 days and syrup ascoril twice a day
