Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I ve come down with a stopped up nose and cough. Started on Saturday. I am to travel to see my father on Thursday. He had open heart surgery in February and I worried about how contagious I might be.Some have said after 3-4 days you are not that contagious anymore. ????
For nasal congestion you can take some antibiotic like azithromycin or cefadroxyl after an expert advice along with some decongestants like diominic-dca or wikoryl. You can take syrup ambrodil-s or syrup respital-p every 8-12 hours for cough. You can also use otrivin or nasoclear nasal drops to relieve the congestion of your nose.
