I'm 15 year old male (turning 16 in 2 months) and have phlegmy cough with sore throat. I have been taking betadine gargles and haven't seen a significant relief. I want to have a nebulizer medication with dosage. I have used a nebulizer before.

Dear lybrate-user if you have no fever, I would suggest you atrt steam inhalation thrice a day. It will help to bring out the phlegm. Also, do visit a clinician who may be able to decide if you need any antibiotics. A nebulizer is not required.
