How To Treat Cough And Congestion Inspite Of Taking Ibuprofen?
Coughing up white phlegm, last week I had bad sinus s and drainage and now its moved to my chest. Currently it s just white phlegm and every now and then it s a little bit yellow. However, as of today I m starting to run a fever. I ve been taking ibuprofen and drinking plenty of water but the fever hasn t gone down or up. Is there any other medication I can take without having to go see a physician? Thanks
HI Well come to HCM If the cough is due to some allergic condition then you need to be very patience because this may take some time to come around most of the time this does not need any treatment, at the most cough suppressant can be used and best option would be "Guaifenesin" can be taken in combination with antihistamine, still the symptoms remains as it is then this need to be investigated, may need routine blood test, and x-ray of the chest, take care and have a nice day.
