Health Query

Hi, My mum has taken augmentin for bronchitis. After the 5th tablet she started getting diarrhea. We stopped the tablet. She had taken smecta and ultrabiotic since then. She doesn't eat oily food. Only grilled chicken and plain rice. What should we do? When she has stool it is firm first and then she gets leakage afterwards after having cleansed herself. What is the reason?

Health Query

Dear sir/madam, I was admitted to the hospital for 3 days and was under the treatment of a pulmonologist for acute viral bronchitis with severe congestion in the chest and en&t. I was given inj cefuroxime iv bd and levofloxacin infusion bd for 3 days along with anti cold tablets and syrup. By the time of discharge I had completely lost the ability to smell and taste. On having reported to the doctor about this, he asked me yo stop taking anti cold medicines, which I did. Its best 4 days now but I have still not gained back the ability to taste and smell. Congestion still persists and approx every 30 minutes I need to expel sputum which is white in colour. Please suggest me what should do as early as possible.

Tast and smell can take some time to come. Take lot luke warm water and do saline gargles. Some cough can persist due to post viral laryngopharyngitis
