Hello doctor, I am having chest pain, bad cough and feeling uneasy with pain in arms for a long. I do not have Aspirin at home. What can be an easily available alternative at this time?
Hello. It is better to take care of this cough because coughing for a long time in highly polluted cities may cause pneumonia or tuberculosis. So I suggest the following medications: Tablet Hicet (Cetirizine) 0-0-1, Azee 500 (Azithromycin) 1-0-0, Combiflam 1-0-1, syrup Tusq X (if productive cough) 10ml-10ml-10ml or syrup Tusq D (if dry cough) 10ml-10ml-10ml for three days. If the cough symptoms are not over within five days, please contact me. We may need to do some tests. Please also follow: 1. Wear a monkey cap covering nose, ears, and mouth while being in cold outdoors. 2. If you smoke, please stop it. 3. Mix some rock salt in a quarter glass of water and gargle it three times a day. 4. Drink only boiled water for the next three days. 5. Avoid sugar containing foods. 6. If possible drink black coffee without sugar which is good for an upper respiratory infection.
