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 trying to understand the corona severity score which is out of 40. Could you explain what that means? Like, what's considered a normal score for someone with COVID? I'm concerned about what these numbers indicate for a patient's condition.

0 out of 25 ct score

I'm really worried about my dad who's 73. He was diagnosed with COVID-19 on June 14th and had a mild fever, but that went away after taking paracetamol. Now he's started coughing since yesterday and while we're giving him Reswas syrup, it hasn't completely stopped. His D-dimer is 0.87 and CRP 9.6. Should we be concerned about these numbers? Is there anything else we should be doing or any other meds he might need?

continue the treatment add dextromethrophen syrup

I'm dealing with pretty bad eosinophilia post nasal drip, and I've been taking a combination of meds including Pulmoclear, azithromycin, Norvent D syrup, Duolin Forte inhaler, Hetrazan, and some mucaine gel syrup for the last three days. I'm still coughing nonstop, day and night, and it's really affecting my sleep and appetite. I'm worried and not sure if I'm on the right track with the treatment or if there's something else I should be doing. Could you please help me understand what's going on and what I could possibly do to feel better?

re evaluate your medications and monitor eosinophil count
