hello doc..my daughter,24 yrs. old is experiencing dry cough nd colds for 1 week now but without fever..she coughs hard it is bothering her even at the office..she cant get enough sleep because of frequent dry coughs.shes taking tuseran forte 2X a day..does she needs an antibiotic?what should i do?..
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. No need to give antibiotic directly because she is not having fever. Better to take her to doctor and get done clinical examination of respiratory system. If she is having wheezing on Auscultation then possibility of bronchitis is more likely. Then she will need inhaled bronchodilators (formoterol or albuterol) and inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) (budesonide or fluticasone). So don't give any Chat Doctor. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wishing good health to your daughter. Thanks.
