Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

I am having a cough for more than a week. It is like a chesty cough, but little dry cough and I have some problem in my throat. My age is 42 years and weight is 209 pounds.

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I appreciate the genuine concerns regarding your health. I have carefully worked through your case and I can realize your health worries.

The Probable causes

There is nothing to worry about your heart. It is due to infection of the respiratory tract.

Treatment plan

I suggest the following medicine. Consult your doctor, discuss with him or her and take the medicine with consent. Take Tablet Fexofenadine 120 mg once at night, Ibuprofen oral three times a day, Azithromycin 400 mg once a day for five days only and take Dry cough syrup two tablespoons thrice a day.

Regarding follow up

For further information consult a cardiologist online.

Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
