I'm really curious about the medications my doctor prescribed for my tiny duodenal polyp. I've been given Nordys 400, Rifaximin, and Menoctyl Tabotilonium Bromide. Can you explain more about how these work and what I should expect during the treatment?

Question

I'm dealing with a lot of phlegm in my throat and lungs, which is making me cough a lot. I recently had laser fissurectomy and haemorrhoidopexy, and I'm already taking a lot of antibiotics. Every time I cough, it hurts, especially near the surgery area. I've been using Syp. Ascoril LS, 5ml three times a day for the past three days, and while it's helped a bit, I'm not completely better yet. Do you have any suggestions for a syrup that can help clear the phlegm and ease the cough without causing more pain?

Question
