I'm really worried about how to boost my immunity since I've been diagnosed with bronchiectasis. Could you give me some advice on what foods might help me strengthen my immune system and possibly prevent more infections?

I'm really worried about my husband. He's been diagnosed with acute bronchitis, but he's still running a fever after four days of taking the prescribed medication. The doctor gave him Acebrophyline, acetylcysteine, Cefixime, montelukast, levocetrizine, and paracetamol. I'm confused though, is acute bronchitis usually caused by a virus or bacteria? Could there be an issue with these medicines not working, or should we be concerned about something else?

medicine which is given is sufficient , give paracetamol 650 mg three times in a day

I've been noticing that I'm getting white and clear sputum, and I'm a bit concerned. Is this something normal, or should I be worried? I don't have any other symptoms, but I'm not sure if this is something I should get checked out. Can you help?

I've been dealing with this persistent cough for over a month now, ever since I recovered from COVID. It's really tough because it keeps getting worse at night. Last year around the same time, I had a similar issue where I coughed for more than two months. When I got an X-ray, the doctor said it was allergic bronchitis. The meds didn't help back then, but homeopathic treatments from Ayush did the trick. I'm really at a loss now though. Do you think I should get some tests done to figure out what's going on, or could you suggest any medicines that might help?

start tablet mucinac for 5 days twice a day
