Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
My husband was suffering from COVID-19, and it is his 14th day today. Suddenly he has started coughing, but he has been taking a cough syrup from the beginning. Can you please tell me what I should do?
Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I understand your concern. I suggest you do HRCT (high resolution computed tomography) of the chest. It will help to diagnose pneumonia and the severity of infection. Also, we can find the reason for the cough from the HRCT scan. After doing the tests, send me reports. I will check and let you know the details.
Can you please tell me what medication he is taking currently and if it is dry cough or cough with phlegm?
Thank you.

Hello doctor,
Thank you for the reply.
He is on the same medication you prescribed. Along with it, he is taking Zinc, Vitamins, and all other COVID-19 treatment. He is taking steam five to six times a day. It is an all-dry cough. Can you please tell me what can be done for instant relief since it is night already?
