Suggest Medication For Strep Throat And Cough

Hi my name is Karolina I'm 19 years old,my weight is 52kg and I do not have any big health disorders in history. Last week I got a flu, I had a temperature and got sore throat. After 2-3 days it went away. I took Nurofen Cold&Flu tablets twice a day and Strepsils tablets. But now I got this strange continuous coughing ,it increases at night time especially! Whenever I inhale I feel a light pain in the middle of my chest which forces me to cough. Should I be worried?

Hi thanks for contacting HCM...

Here you could have viral or allergic respiratory infection...
As mild chest pain associated possibilities of bronchitis present ...
CBC examination done to rule out lymphocytosis as in viral and eosinophilia as in allergic condition...

Symptomatic management done....
Excess fatty , fried food avoided.
Take antihistaminic drug for inflammation and congestion relief....
If blocked nose present then oxymetazoline nasal spray useful ..
Steam inhalation also help in soothing effect....
Take ginger juice with honey one tsp....

If fever more with continuous chest pain then chest x ray needed to look for consolidation....

I am giving you here advise according to history but it will not replace the auscultation that is needed .....

Take care .
Don't worry....

Hope my suggestion will helpful.
