Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

I am a 35-year-old female. I mostly have throat pain at night and a bad cough with phlegm. The symptoms started a week back. It is getting worse day by day. Tiredness and body pain are there, with no fever. There are gastric issues like bloating as well.

Thank you.

I have gone through your query and understand your concern.

  1. Take Azithromycin 500 milligrams, one tablet daily in the morning for three days.
  2. Take Tusq D syrup (Chlorpheniramine, Dextromethorphan, and Phenylephrine) 5 milliliters two times a day.
  3. Take Pantop 40, one tablet daily in the morning for 10 days.
  4. Drink adequate water for 1.5 liters daily.
  5. Eat more boiled vegetables and fruits.
  6. Gargle mouth with warm salt water at night regularly.
  7. Avoid junk foods, carbonated beverages, ice creams, and cold drinks.
  8. Take Becelac, one capsule daily after dinner for 20 days for bloating.
  9. Avoid coffee and tea.

Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

Thank you for your reply.

What to take if there is a temperature? Can I take Dolo?

When should I take Azithromycin? Is it before or after food?

Thank you.

Answered by Dr. J. N. Naidu

Hi,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

You should take Azithromycin before food.

If the fever is there, take Crocin 500 (Paracetamol) milligrams twice a day.

Thank you.

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