I've been dealing with a cough for over two weeks, and my throat is super itchy, especially at night. It kicked off with a fever, but that's gone now. Still, my throat feels the same. Any ideas on what might be going on or what I should do next?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
persistent cough and itchy throat for over two weeks, especially after a fever, may indicate an underlying condition such as a lingering respiratory infection, allergies, acid reflux, or postnasal drip; a proper evaluation and diagnostic tests (e.g., throat swab, chest X-ray) can help determine the cause and guide appropriate treatment.

I'm really worried about my friend who has sarcoidosis and bronchial asthma; the doctor recommended an inhaler and the medicine ecosprin AV75. I'm concerned about the possible side effects of ecosprin AV75. Also, how long should my friend keep taking it? Is it something they should continue indefinitely or stop at some point?
Ecosprin AV 75 is a combination medication containing Aspirin and Atorvastatin. It is commonly used to prevent heart attacks and strokes in patients with cardiovascular disease. Some common side effects of Ecosprin AV 75 include stomach upset, heartburn, dizziness, and easy bruising. In rare cases, it can also cause more serious side effects such as stomach bleeding or liver problems. The duration of Ecosprin AV 75 treatment should be determined by your friend's doctor based on their individual medical condition. It is important to follow the doctor's instructions regarding when to stop or continue the medication. In general, Ecosprin AV 75 is usually taken long-term to prevent cardiovascular events, but the duration may vary depending on the specific situation. It is important not to stop taking Ecosprin AV 75 without consulting the doctor first, as sudden discontinuation can increase the risk of heart attack or stroke.
