I'm really struggling with a stuffy nose and this annoying cough that switches between wet and dry. Mornings are the worst because theres all this wet cough that's excessive, but come evening and night, my cough gets dry and irritating, especially after 6 pm. Its been like this for the past 5 days and Im not sure what to do. Could you recommend something to help me out?

I took three pills of Curam which has 875mg of amoxicillin, hoping it would help with my cold. But then I realized maybe I shouldn't have taken them, and now I'm dealing with some bad headaches. Should I keep taking the antibiotic or stop completely?

It is not recommended to continue taking the antibiotic without proper medical advice, especially if you are experiencing headaches. I would advise you to stop taking the antibiotic and consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and guidance on the appropriate treatment for your cold and headaches.
