Because of cough she is unable to sleep at night time, I told this to doctor he said to continue with the same antibiotic for next three days . Is he correct??
Hello. Thanks for asking Healthcare Magic. Yes you can continue with with the same antibiotic. It works well for upper respiratory tract infection. You can use a cough syrup which contains phenylephrine, chlorphenarimine maleate5mg/2mg, 5ml three times a day along with steam inhalation 2 times a day. I hope this helps.If you have any other queries/question please feel free to ask. Thanks and wish you a healthy life.
