Question 1

I'm dealing with a wet cough that's been bothering me for a week now. I tried taking Benadryl for a couple of days and then switched to Cipla's COFRYL, but nothing seems to be working. What can I do to get some relief?

Accepted Answer

Since you have already tried Benadryl and Cipla's COF-RYL without relief, I recommend trying Robitussin DM for your wet cough. Take 10ml of Robitussin DM every 4-6 hours as needed for cough. Additionally, make sure to stay hydrated and get plenty of rest to help your body recover.

Question 2

I'm a bit worried because I've had this weird temperature fluctuation for the past four days. It's usually between 97-98 but sometimes hits 99, and I have a slight cough. I've been taking Calpol 650 twice daily, but it hasn't changed much. The last x-ray showed a patchy opacity in my left lung. Should I be concerned, or is this just normal? Any guidance would be appreciated.

Accepted Answer

Patient is advised tab augmentin 625 mg ,orally, thrice daily for 7 days, tab levocetrizine 10 mg bedtime for 5 days and syrup salbutamol 10 ml thrice dailly for 7 days .

Question 3

I'm experiencing this weird thing where every time I breathe, there seems to be a sound coming from my lungs, and I start coughing non-stop. Plus, I can't seem to get a good night's sleep because of it. Do you think there's something wrong with my lungs, or could it be something else?

Accepted Answer

Patient is advised pulmonary function test (PFT)and a chest x-ray .

I'm really worried because I've found blood in my sputum. Could you help me understand what might be causing this issue? Also, which type of doctor should I consult for this condition?
