I have tickly dry cough and nasal congestion. Please suggest a medicine.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

It is likely a viral infection of the throat and nose. At present, you should have betadine gargles four times a day and tablet Allegra (Fexofenadine) 120 mg once a day for three to four days for nasal congestion. For cough, you can have syrup Alex (Chlorpheniramine, Phenylephrine, Paracetamol, and Caffeine) two teaspoons whenever needed up to three times a day. Avoid cold food items.

If you develop fever or body aches I suggest you can have tablet Paracetamol 500 mg whenever needed up to three times a day. If your problem persists more than two to three days, then you should also have antibiotics like tablet Azithromycin 500 mg once a day along with some antacid like tablet Pantoprazole 40 mg before breakfast once a day for five days. Consult your specialist doctor, discuss with him or her and start taking the medicines with their consent.

Hope this helps you and get back if you have any doubts.

Yes, you should begin now. You can have the tablets Azithromycin and Pantoprazole, which I suggested in the previous discussion. Also, do gargles as advised. All the best.

I suggest having tablet Cefuroxime 250 mg twice a day for five days. You may also have capsule Vizylac thrice a day which is probiotic to prevent diarrhea till you are on antibiotics. Continue having Pantoprazole with this also. This diarrhea should settle after you stop the antibiotics, it stimulates bowel receptors and increased bowel movements in some patients.

All the best.

I personally do not think any need of blood test as of now as we already know the cause of fever, that is, upper respiratory tract infection, and also it is improving. I suggest Crocin if fever is above 100. You can use Otrivin. So just continue antibiotics for a total of five days. All the best.
