Viral fever stains immunity after one attacks but existence of very many virus types and subtypes with similar signs and symptoms that it look to be recurrence. Antibiotics have no role in viral treatment. You can give fever drugs and cold drugs for few days. Please look after diet at home to be given in small but four times. Fruits also will help.

See you read medical stuff without proper knowledge of medicine or training. Leon 500 mg is levofloxacin and as far as I know it is having same degree of side effects as most of the antibiotics. So either you trust your doctor and administer the medicine or don't. As far as amoxicillin plus clavulanic acid is concerned, that is augmentin tablets if you mean it is the best for ent related infections especially rhino synovitis unless you have developed resistance to it that is the microorganism de...more

It may be due to bronchial hyperreactivity, which has a variety of reasons like cold exposure in your case. You need to prevent exposure to certain triggers which are causing your problem by doing an allergy profile. No need to take antibiotics if you don't have associated infection. You may continue other medications + also do steam inhalation.
If you are still facing problem, feel free to consult me online in this app for.

It is viral upper respiratory tract infection. It will take at least 1 week. So you should take all precautions and routine warm water gargles. Plus you need to take cough suppressent like Alex, benedryl, grillinctus, any of these for 1 week. It will be cleared in 1 week. Don't worry.

Dear lybrate-user,
from what you describe your mother had 3 courses of antibiotics along with steroids and medication to help with her breathing. If her symptoms have significantly reduced, then very little will be achieved by getting an hrct, but if you feel it will put your mind at rest, you may get it done while noting that unnecessary radiation exposure is not good. It may be better to get her reassessed and treat any residual infection as cough can become a habit after some time and may...more

Cough could be due to acid reflux.
 
 take hot saline gargles atleast 5 - 6 times a day, it will help to clear the throat . 
steam inhalation also helps to clear respiratory passages. 
sprinkling eucalyptus oil on the clothes and pillows while sleeping will help. 
elevating the upper body and head by propping up with 2 - 3 pillows at night will help to relieve post nasal drip which worsens dry cough.
 hot soup infused with ginger, tulsi, pepper should be taken.
