Hello,

* As per my clinical experience, persistent cough with pain upper abdomen indicates viral or bacterial infection most likely affecting lower respiratory tract and the abdomen spasm is secondary to above.

For better recovery following advise will be helpful

- deep breathing exercises
- walk in fresh air
- inhlalation of vapors of boiled water added tincture benzoin
- prefer lukewarm water to drink
- avoid all cold drinks, dairy products
- analgesic with diclofenac and paracetamol after meals
- benzyl pearls as chewable medication
- tulsi and ginger help via ayurvedic properties
- avoid exposre to atmospheric pollen
- wear face mask wisely

* Discuss the need of antibiotic prescription with your physician during
next follow up schedule.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel
