Hello,

* As per my clinical experience, the gritty cough does indicate bacterial infection of the lower respiratory tract most likely.

My guidelines for better recpvery from this isntance

- discuss the need of lab tests of complete hemogram with chest x-ray with your doc during next scheduled visit

- deep breathing exercises
- meditations
- YOGA
- walking in fresh air
- control of body weight
- avoidance of obesity
- prefer semi reclining positioning while resting
- avoid smoking if consuming
- balanced nutritious diet to combat the immunity status
- antibitoics with gram positive coverage as mox clavulanic acid or others
- bronchi dilator as terutaline decongestant as pseudophedrine expectorant as guianphenecin.

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

Take care

Regards,
Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel
