I'm feeling pretty worried; I've been dealing with a cough and cold for the past two weeks. I've already taken 10 tablets of Sumo Cold and 6 tablets of Roxid 150 mg, but today the coughing has gotten worse. What should I do next?

It seems like your current medication is not effectively managing your symptoms. I recommend adding an expectorant like Mucolite syrup (10ml twice daily) to help with the increased coughing. Additionally, you can take a cough suppressant like Ascoril syrup (5ml thrice daily) to alleviate the coughing spells. Make sure to stay hydrated and get plenty of rest.

I'm really worried about my dad. He's been having this headache on the right side of his forehead for about 10 days now, and he's also dealing with a runny nose. Since he's diabetic and is taking Victoza 0.6 mg, could this be related? What could be causing these symptoms, and should we be concerned?
