My boyfriend started suffering from a chesty cough and sore feet yesterday afternoon. Since then, he has developed a high temperature, his feet are swollen and numb, his cough has got worse and now he has a headache! Im trying to look after him but I dont know what is wrong, hes been taking Benylin and Night Nurse but theyre not working!
Thanks for posting to HMS. Cough can occur due to infection to tonsils, upper or lower respiratory tract, and swelling in the lower legs can be due to fever. Let me know if he has done urine albumin test as loss of protein in urine can cause swelling.what's the duration of cough? You can take tab paracetamol for fever, and tab. Chymotrypsin for swelling and tab. Amoxycillin for cough, and take tab. Ranitidine with all this to reduce acidity.
