Throat Itching Followed By Dry Cough, Warmness In Neck, Eryocin, Cofdex Doesn't Help. Solution ?
Today morning it started as a throat itching / irritation looking like the attack of cold . 2-3 hours later slow dry dough started but not much; followed by slight weakness + warmness in neck region.. After lunch had Eryocin 250 at 3 0 clock which i got from medicine store and saved another tablet for night. until then no improvement and also no deteriorating signs. In evening dry cough stopped a bit but weakness & irritation still remained. Evening i bought cofdex syrup for dry cough which the doctor had earlier prescribed me.and also bought 2 spare crocin . I had 2 spoons cofdex syrup and remaining antibiotic tablet Eryocin 250 . I had gargle 2 times. Is it okay what i am doing.. pls reply to YYY@YYY

hello dear
thanks for your query at HCM
your complaining of throat pain, cough, weakness and fever it could be viral infection
1 there is no need for antibiotics for viral infection.
2 cough syrup your taking is ok .
3 you can take crocin three times a day if fever is present.
4 take plenty of water that will decrease throat irritation and decrease cough.
5 do betadine gargle three times a day,
6 tab sianrest three times a day
if fever is not controlled on crocin, or high grade fever, fever more that three days you can start on antibiotics
hope this will help you
