I've been dealing with a pretty rough cough for about a week now, and it's been really productive. On top of that, I've had this severe cold for about five days. I took Azithromycin and Monteleukast, but I'm not sure if they're helping. Should I be worried, or do I just need to give it more time? What should I do next?

If Azithromycin didn't work you have to get Sputum for Culture sensitivity done and use appropriate antibiotic done.

I was hoping to get some advice about my recovery. I had a negative antigen test on August 25th, but by the 27th, I started having fever and weakness, and then on the 29th, I experienced breathing issues. After going for a HRCT on August 30th, it showed Co Rad 4, and I got admitted the same day. I went through a week of treatment with Remedesivir, Meropenam, and Azithromycin, among other things. After being discharged 10 days ago, I took a 5-day course of Fluvir and some other medicines. Now, my pulse and oxygen levels are stable, but I'm still feeling weak. Do you think I need to take any medicine for the weakness, or should I talk to a doctor about it? Is this kind of weakness normal after such treatments?

start eating healthy and nutritious food.no need to consult s doctor

I've been prescribed a bunch of medications including Methylprednisolone, Montelukast, Fexofenadine, Acebrophylline, Levofloxacin, a nasal spray with Fluticasone and Azelastine, plus a nebulizer with Duolin and Budecort. My FEV1 is at 42, so I get that it's serious, but this seems like a lot to take in all at once. Is this really normal, or should I be concerned about how heavy this treatment plan feels for me?

no ,it is normal, your body requires this medicine
