Patient's question:
Cough with dry heaves, excessive phlegm. Since last year, after a straw pierced my throat, coughing hasn't been easy to treat. Medical condition: Every time I get a week of intravenous drip treatment, it gets better for two or three days, then the cough returns, requiring another week of treatment to gradually improve. Every time I receive ceftriaxone. What kind of assistance is needed: What methods have the best treatment effect?Doctor's answer:
The phlegm has been persistent since last year when a straw punctured my throat. It's possible that it could be bronchitis, tonsillitis, or pharyngitis.Recommendation: It's best to take oral antibiotics. If oral medication doesn't work, it's advisable to receive intravenous anti-inflammatory treatment. Intravenous medication is more effective because the drug concentration is higher and it works faster.
You can also try taking Xianzhu Li (fresh bamboo juice) orally for phlegm. Once it improves, it's important to maintain stability for a certain period of time.
